Go to the very bottom, they make a "flat aluminum" color.
This will be good for what you have in mind without breaking the bank.
Just keep in mind that if the tranny is not prepped correctly it won't matter if you buy $1 paint or $100 paint.
Also, this is not what was used on the tranny pictured. Can't give away all of our secrets
Thanks again TiradoCC
I'd really like to clean up the hardware too but i just can't justify new bolts.
I have considered this. I also thought I should hit the junkyard and go under the dash of some newer mitsubishi to get clean bolts. Good place for non structural hardware.Have you thought about buying something like a Harbor freight vibratory tumbler to clean the hardware up and then use some simple electrolysis to recoat them? I keep telling myself I'm going to get a tumbler, but haven't yet. I've seen several YouTube vids of people using the tumblers with some great success.
Personally, I have several 5 gal buckets of 1g and 2g hardware from some cars I stripped totally bare. I going to be diving into electrolysis this summer for some projects. Might have to try doing some hardware.
A little time has passed since these threads started. I just glass beaded my case and i don't want it to corrode. I'm torn between painting it or a matte clear. How well has anybodys alumablast or parts store paint held up? If i paint it I'm leaning toward alumablast. I'd really like to clean up the hardware too but i just can't justify new bolts.
