Thumbs up Painted my top radiator brackets

I picked up a can of Blue anodizing paint to play with recently and tried it out on my radiator brackets. I sanded them down first and sprayed them with aluminum paint first as a base then the blue top coat. They sell a base coat but I figured mine would look the same and it turned it really nice. The pic looks lighter than they really are. Check it out. They sell red, blue, and silver.

I have a small sand blast cabinet, found it really cleans things like that with bead blasting. Gives you a super smooth base to start with.

What's the difference in using their base or the one you chose?

That looks great.
I have to agree on the sand blasting...we have one at the shop and I've been stuffing everything in that sucker. It's awsome.
