Thanks guys. Rust-O-Leum hammered metal finish. It was the closest to the matte finish of the original. I basically took it apart, polished the chrome, hammered out the damaged areas, then cleaned, sanded, painted and reassembled. And printed out a scan of my favorite header for the display. The planning and prep was about 1/3 of the total time I spent. It is incredibly important to organize a project like this and have a full game plan before touching it. I had baggies for every type of part and extensive photos of every part of the machine before I touched it.
