Kandy paint over aluminum

Hello all
I have witnessed an amazing effect using "renolds" wrap aluminum under kandy paint, and started some test samples on an old tank.
Some colors come out great...but yellow was lackluster.
I think this could be great on old tank badges.
Thought I would share with you all.

Here are the steps involved 
black epoxy sealer 
 black basecoat
 tape off panels 
1 tack coat with your clear coat (or Leaf Sizing) 
wipe aluminum down with a lacquer 
apply aluminum .........push down with a rag( any wiping will scratch the aluminum).
apply 3 total flow coats of clear
then you kandy over that, the sky is the limit.

Here is the tank in black and panels with no kandy, though a bit close up.
