Hello Ryan,
I checked out the spray cans this weekend.
For the steel wheels, air cleaner and valve cover I used Duplicolor
Engine Paint - Cast Coat Aluminum #DE1650, Ceramic content. Got it at
Walmart for $3.00
For the transmission I used silver Plasti-Kote Engine Paint - Aluminum
#207. Got it at a local parts store for $3.00
Both did a nice job.
Good luck,
