Eddie. Shiny horse things.
When I did my Furrari engine cover I sprayed all the bits I wanted to look like aluminium with Volvo Silver. I’m trying to match this colour for the filler caps. I’ve sprayed one horse with the silver to give me a reference point. The next one I did with Smooth On products. I used Smooth Cast 325 with Silver Bullet dusted into the mould but no other pigmentation. After curing this gave a Mother of Pearl sort of effect. My third attempt was again using 325 and Silver Bullet but with Smooth On's aluminium power (1 part A, 1 part B and 2 parts aluminium by volume). I would be happy with this result although I may still spray the final cap with clear laquer to give a final gloss. I’ll make the cap mould over the next couple of days and let you know how I get on.
