I'm not used to using spray cans, but the principle should be the same. You probably need a silver or gold base coat. You then adjust the color by the number of coats you put on. The more coats, the darker the color.

duplicolor has a base coat specific for their anodized coatings.

Those paints are not meant for plastic.

Krylon Fusions is the only paint I would ever use on a plastic interior part. You will never achieve the look you want with a spray can or paint though.

its not plastic its an aluminum plate that holds the individual coils..

thanks for all the help, if anything I'll send it to the local powdercoating shop..

Sorry, I saw "CUP holder", not COP holder. I was reading too fast.

As long as it's aluminum, you could always anodize it yourself. It's really not too hard. And you'll have a ton of purple dye left over to do more parts in the future
