  All of your finish products can be found on Eastwoods automotive website. 
They sell a clearcoat called Nylac which is used on polished aluminum wheels 
and is tougher than ordinary clearcoat products. They also have a simulated 
cadmium finish that is used to restore that tint to carburators had from the 
factory. They also have a nifty powder coating kit which can be used at home. 
They also have the lacquer pencils which restore lettering to knobs and 
dashboards, perfect for radio restoration. I hope this helps. Best regards!
