It comes in different sheens, is designed to go over bare metal and will not yellow. 1970 Challenger T/A 4 speed

If you are still set on paint, try Seymour Stainless Steel. Recently while trying to find Seymour locally I stumbled upon Rustoleum's Stainless Steel Paint at Home Depot and it looked just like parts I did in the past with Seymour's.

I was not happy with eastwood spray grey, detail grey, cast grey,etc. I will see about posting a photo in a little while when I get time. I bought just about all there greys and TO ME Brake grey is my choice. I didn't want to spend the time heating and applying RPM for a driver/small scale car show type of car. DRE

I didn't like the grey that is suggested for stamped metal as it was to bright and looked more like an aluminum color. Photos don't do it justice but I am Really Happy with the look.

I am not a full time resto person, I don't do this for a living, I want to do some stuff myself to help save money, and If I am Happy with the results that is all that matters to me. Do a search on here and there are alot of tips and info from people that will help you get the look you are after. This is where I got my info and I Appreciate all of it that I have received. Thanks Mopart Members. P.S. click on the attachment and you can super size the photos. David 7626524-Pedalassembly.jpg (64 downloads)
