It is on the car and the engine is running great. As we approach the driving season, not sure I want to tear things apart right now. I did the current finish several years back. It actually looks decent, I just thought it came out a bit too shiny. I was hoping for a duller, more natural look. Seems the only way to get that is to blast it.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again.</div><div><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1518189333196_40530">Jim<br><br><div id="yiv6551673070AppleMailSignature">Sent from my iPad</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1518189333196_40529"><br>On Feb 8, 2018, at 9:19 PM, michael king <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:michael.s.king@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:michael.s.king@gmail.com">michael.s.king@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Jim,<div><br></div><div>I would suggest the aluminium finish.
