Yes it is. You need to build it up with lots of coats. Get 2 cans.

I used gold wheel paint, so I knew they were protected and were not gonna rust. My car is just a driver.

Resto Rick has a cosmoline looking paint on his website. I haven't tried it though...

I tried finding the Krylon battery protectant a few years ago and not a single Kryon distributor in the area carried it. The places that could order it wanted me to buy an entire case of it so I passed.

I bought one can through Amazon I think. It does take a few coats to get the look your after. I think one can should be enough for a pair of LCA's.

I bought mine through Amazon also. One can was enough, as I still have a little in the can.

Probabaly none...lol. Looks like the real thing and a few other good choices are available.
I had a can of gold spray paint on the shelf from when I repainted some ATV wheels that I blasted.

Guess what got used on my LCAs? lol

I'm not sure what color I used, but it was kind of a hammered gold look, and it is not that far off that once they are dirty anyone will notice.


Its not primer its perma gray.
