How would I get a DeLorean or aircraft, polished bare metal look? I know I could strip the paint down and imperfections and dents are not a big problem for the style I am useing but it would show the patches I've made to get some rust out in the bed. would I strip it than use a clear or is there something diffrent all together.  

Hi There.
The DeLorean was built with Brushed stainless steel panels. I would purchase 18 cooker range hood and a good hammer . Start beating....be patient and youl get there.  

get some paint mixed the color of raw steel  

maybe re-do the patches and hammer weld the material until you can't tell it's been repaired. a frind of mine did a engine turned aluminum look on his tailgate, but there was a little moisture in the airline and it caused surface rust under the clear.
