My gas filler tube and emission tube in the trunk look ok, but I wanted to spruce them up. What paint or finish can I put on them to make them look acceptable. Its not a concourse car, just a really nice driver. I was thinking Eastwood's Aluma-blast??

Thanks,

Do a search, this question came up not long ago and there were some real good contributions. My Dart looks as if it has a lead like coating on it.

I don't know how this would work or look, but the original finish was hot galvanized.

Cold Galvanizing Compound Aerosol
or
Tank Tone Metallic Coating Aerosol

I think the steel wool sounds like maybe the best bet

Fine steel wool is what was recommended in a thread a while back. But IIRC, it has a lead coating so you will want to be careful and wear protective items.
