I just used spray aluminum paint on my center piece and then hand painted the 'Job Rated' in red. It looks pretty good.

I did the same thing 20 years ago and it has held up quite well. When freshly painted it almost looked chromed.

I used last year spray chrome.

Plasticote makes a cast aluminum color, don't know if it would be a good match for this, but less shiny than aluminum or chrome. Tractor Supply sells it. I have used it for several underhood things on old rigs and it is a great matte color.

I am doing something similar right now. Using Rustoleum rattle can on the grill bars. But we are going to paint the medalion red and use model chrome paint on the "job rated" and the lines. The chrome paint from the rattle can on the grill bars looks great. The medalion is not done yet. I will post a picture when I finish it.
