Aluminium - Well, I knew Dtec offered that ceramic coating, but really I'm not too familiar with that stuff. At first I thought maybe it was just a ceramic paint, but I guess it's not. Hey! I bet Hobby Lobby or somewhere like that has it.


Fiberglass - Now there is something that I have zero experience with,

1) no hobby lobby won't have it...trust me, it's hard to explaine... it is a paint(its sprayed on) but it isn't (it's a "performance coating")

2) fiberglass is cake to work with...i love the stuff.

a)go to home depot, and buy some 2" thick insulation foam

b)cut some pieces largr than you need and glue them one ontop of the other(hot glue or something...)

c)shave the block you made down to the shape you want to end up with and wrap it in ceran wrap(trust me on this)

d)lay fiberglass, let harden, remove from mold which can be re-used as many times as you please, sand if you want, paint and install.

i'm sure this sounds like a alot of work...but it can be done in just a couple hours, depending on the resin you use.
