I doubt u will be able to find anything as good as Alcad from a can, although Laurent acheived a similar result on the roll cage to his custom Ford Focus recently. You could ofcourse try any aluminium/silver sprays or alternatively try something else instead - dry brushing silver over a black base coat would be interesting, something i might try on a future one. There's also a few brush on metalic paints available, I have Humbrol Metalcote for example which is OK, and these can be buffed with a soft cloth.
