Re: What to use in refinishing Bosch Fuel rail, etc.

["Obie Fayth" <bibendum59@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

    I painted the fuel rails on my Gtv6 with aluminum colored paint and I 
think they look fine. Much cleaner than before at any rate. If you want a 
more original look, I think I remember seeing some kind of cadmium color 
spray paint in one of the recent Eastwood company catalogs intended for 
precisely this sort of application.
