[DeTomaso] Clear Coating Aluminum?

[Thomas Borcich]

Bill,

The finish is just a fine glass bead blast finish...it looks like a bright 
satin aluminum finish after the bead blast....much like a new aluminum head 
looks like. I wonder if there is a clear anodizing?

I saw Dick Dreske's car a while back and the surface had been blasted and I 
think he powder coated it clear. I have to ask Dick. But it looked really 
good.


Tom
