Brass parts are hard to find and usually don't look like you want them to. If you have parts brass plated, they look too bright and new till they tarnish some.

I'm looking to do something like old brass looking heat shields, intake, and possibly gas cap. Best bet I've found is Nic Industries prismatic powders powder coating. They have a good looking gallery on their website
