Thanks a lot for the ideas everyone!
MontanaMarine, I really appreciate your photos. I was getting a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out the sequence and methods of putting down a pattern.
Your step by step photos have helped tremendously. I can see how to do it now. Thanks.
I might look for a couple different colors.
Alumahyde is out of stock at brownells.
Just regular rustolem or krylon or do they offer something better?
