There is a corvette restoration place of all things that sells a gold that's supposed to be Cad paint color. I may give it a shot. Need to find out if it can handle heat. I looked at the Eastwood stuff - not cheap and seemed like overkill for the tiny area I have to paint. Good to know that you didn't like the look.

If I end up replating the pan, I would do it in silver, not gold. But I doubt I will.

EDIT: Just spoke with Virginia Vettes and he has this stuff. Way better deal at $5.95 than Eastwood, doesn't have the red and green tint though, which I don't want anyway. Can handle engine heat and doesn't need to be primed. And the guy swears that his Vette paint will work on a Ford....

I'll report back after I try it.
