Now we know where that paint leftover from Christmas of 05 went

One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not
agree that "violence begets violence." I told him that it is my
earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure
- and in some cases I have - that any man who offers violence to his
fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.

My Dad painted a tractor silver once, but that's because it was aluminum paint and was the best thing he'd found against rust...

In Southern California, that's nicknamed Mexichrome because of its
popularity with Hispanics.

Be advised that Hispanics in general do NOT like the nickname.

Well ... I was at an estate sale once (I wish that I had known
the man before he went -- I think that he would have been interesting to
know) in which there were weird things gold plated, including a chem lab
clamp. He just liked gold plating things, apparently. :-)

Enjoy,

A 1961 report on a 10 year study by University of Illinois on barn paint:
http://ia600302.us.archive.org/18/it...test00mueh.pdf

quote
SUMMARY

Among the general conclusions drawn from this study, the following are
most significant.

1. Exposure had a definite effect on the paint systems with a red or
green top coat, but no apparent effect on the paint systems with an
aluminum top coat. ...

2. The original condition of the panel affected the amount of protection
offered by the paint system. The greater the amount of rust when the
panel was painted, the faster the paint film failed.

3. The paint systems that provided the best protection were those with a
first coat of red lead and a second coat of an aluminum paint and those
with a first coat of gray metallic zinc paint and a second coat of an
aluminum paint.

4. Wire brushing before painting gave no apparent increased protection o
the panels. If the panels had not been brushed, however, more paint
would have been necessary to secure a good coverage.

I've always considered aluminum paint to be inferior, but I guess that I
was wrong. 'Course it's still too garish for common use (YMMV).
