Mark, When I did the rams on the G, I had them bead blasted as you did, then wiped clean, and primed with high temp primer from spray can, then used a spray can to put color on them. I feel they turned out great and have held up very well. Like many things, success lies in the prep work.

The rams have been media blasted to bare aluminum. I have 500 degree grey engine primer and the correct red Cummins paint. I'm not sure how to prep the aluminum for good adhesion. I checked the our web site for technical assistance and didn't find any. Your suggestions are appreciated.
