There was a thread awhile back about repainting some ellipsoidels and someone had mentioned using engine enamel paint. I have a bunch of
Altman 360Q's in stock which were previously painted with the grill paint. I found this finish a little gross looking with the enamel paint more of a factory stock finish. My only two issues with the enamel is, it is somewhat difficult to find, I think you need to look either online or at car parts stores, and for some reason, when some of the 360Q's I painted are in the sun, the give off a maroon color, this could be a product of their original paint color being olive but I'm not sure. In any event, as these are technobeams, i would recommend grabbing a can of both the BBQ paint and the engine enamel(

theatre, it should be something you are happy with.
