So I plan to highlight a few panels on the plane with a gloss aircraft aluminium color. I didn't want to go to a full chrome look. I painted the panel that is around the exhaust today. I'll probably then add a hot metal look to the aluminium panel in the area closer to the exhaust. I think it gives a better contrast to the exhaust and similar to the full scale.
