I tried lots of things. Never got them looking good. So I just polished them. LOTS of work, but very happy with it.

For tha "natural" aluminum look I disassembled, bead blasted them with glass beads and sprayed them with DupliColor High temp (500*) paint and then a High temp (500* again) clear coat.
