I like Aluminium duplicolor spray paint. Also, only 48 cylinders were Black. But if that's what you want Duplicolor comes in Gloss and flat Black also.

long ago when we were all pups , everyone used a heat resistant wrinkle finish on the jugs . It looked great but I haven't seen this product in many years,

I use the Hi-Temp paint that Napa keeps in stock.After you paint them stick them in a pre-heated oven at 110-degrees for 20-min.-Then after it cools -your good to go.-I believe Dupli-color is applied the same way.I have used Dupli-color in the past & its a good paint product.About the WRINKLE-FINISH--I have a can from last year that I used & the manufacturer is KRYLON.---Respectfully----RICHIE

Heat Resistanty Silver is still available from the factory. However, a can costs about $ 25.00.

You can just buy it at the dealer's?
