The nozzles on the GE B and D Tomcat are made of titanium. You can use Testors metallizer titanium but I see titanium everyday and that paint looks too dark. Testors metallizer burnt metal polished out looks pretty darn close to used and old titanium. Magnesium in that same line (polished) will give it a more "new" look

I am planning on using Alclad II Pale Burt Metal. It has a hint of gold in it and matches most of the pics I have seen. In addition the stuff is tough as nails once applied.

Regards,

Mike

Rustoleum pro enamel works real good, stainless steel. they have other colors as well.
