Very cool, The silver looks great. The modern sides do not have the three embossed squares and would look out of place. I suspect You have the ideal solution.

It'll be interesting to see how it copes when fired.
Coming on a treat. |
I hope it will cope it is vht paint temperatures up to 1110°F, 600°C I have had no problems with the black gloss so see how this silver paint copes |

When I was in engineering, we used a silver high temperature industrial paint and it was excellent.
We found it to be better than any other colour for standing up to some pretty high temperatures.
I've got high hopes that it will work out fine.

What a great idea! I didn't know they made also silver VHT paint, I was already making plans to paint the chrome sides on my SP5 black.
