Bruce,
This was the worst part of any area on my car to restore. Tried paint remover, sanding, scraping, wire wheels and just about everything else I had in shop to remove factory and PO installed glue. Since my car is black, I would have had to put more effort than I did to end up with a surface finish equal to the exterior. After spending countless weekends on my back, knees or bent over engine bay, I settled by spraying entire engine bay with one of the truckbed liner type coatings. It turned out OK but not as easy to keep clean as a smooth paint finish would have. The rougher coating I chose seems to collect anything that comes in contact with it. Just another case of "90% prep". Have you considered sand blasting? John |
