underhood coating: metal spray? aluminum oxide coating?

[Dangerous Doug]

Has anyone used a spray on metalic coating on the underside of their Cobra hood? I was talking to a painter who knew something about this but hadn't done it himself. From what I understand, the metallic coating can be sprayed on, and once dried, can be polished or swirled. Supposedly is/looks like aluminum.

If you've heard of this and know something about it, please reply. I'm interested in the material and equipment necessary to do this. I want to do this on my ERA, but would like to do it myself (I'm just that kind of guy).

Cheers, and Happy Thanksgiving,

Doug,
Not sure about self spray on applications but a company called Metal Morpheus does something special.......

Metal-Morphous is exactly what I was looking for.

Wonder if anyone local to the SF Bay Area does this same work?

I had MM do the underside of my hood. Polishes like any other aluminum.

Uh, I like the signature on your dash... Photoshop?

Car look great. Did you aluminize the underside of the trunk as well?

That was a joke. No, just had the underside of the hood done. Here's another of the owner's ERA.
