There was more staining and discoloration than I liked so I used duplicolor 500 degree primer, cast aluminum paint and clearcoat. It turned out great. I did some test pieces with the "aluminum" color but did not like how bright it was. The "cast aluminum" seemed to be the right shade. The Dupli-color rattle can spray nozzles are very user friendly and the stuff flashes fast, ten minutes between coats. All coats have to be applied within the same hour for proper curing, I was pleased with the product.

It will be some time before the car see's the road but I hope this stuff stays on good. Thanks to all who replied
Can you post some pics? Interested in the look. Thanks.
