- Here's what I use. The aluminum is a bit glossy as is the stainless steel. Cast iron is dead flat. WARNING! The packaging has changed sense this pic was taken. Most Auto Parts stores should have them. *NM*
- DING DING DING.....We have a winner! *NM*
- I haven't tried any yet, there is a brand called LifeColor. They have some "Perfect Metal" sets. I believe they're acrylic. However, I'm thinking it's not exactly what you're looking for.
