Tony,
Most original bugeye's I've seen have a pancake type filter that as noted were painted a hammerite color, where as all later spridgets had coopers cans which were black.

Jack-There might be a Duplicolor product that would work. I saw something this morning on one of the car shows on TV about it. 2 stages in a can. Paint the first part black, then the second the silver metallic look.
