That could work. :-) "Brushed aluminum" I think they call it?
Or I think I have also seen it referred to as "turned" or "machine turned"?
IIRC, they do that by using a wire wheel chucked in a drill, although
I've never done it myself so I can't confirm that.
You might even be able to do a brushed aluminum finish and then use
a translucent powder or candy paint over it to give it the red look
of the rest of your truck, but still have the machined surface show
through. ?

Glad to be of assistance! If I'm good at anything, its spending other
people's money! ;-) I've had lots of practice on Jason. Unfortunately,
he is at least my equal - case in point being the BBQ which is entirely
his "fault". ;-)

I checked it out and it looks like when you hit "reply", your e-mail
software (netscape I believe?) is sending them as a multi-part MIME
message instead of just plain text. There is probably some sort of
setting in there to cause replies as well as new messages to be plain
text, but not knowing anything about netscape mail, unfortunately I'm
not sure where it might be. (Any other DMLers know the answer to that one?)
