Good morning, hope it has been a good week so far.
I am going to be dropping the engine on the AZ car (one with the oil blow by) soon and will be finishing repairing all of the prior owner AC line holes with new metal etc. I will also be repairing some minor rust on the batter tray (fortunately then tray “frame” and support are in good shape. This strikes me as the right time to reapray the engine bay, and was wondering if others have done this and any tips or best practices they have to share. Obviously same paint color as exterior and same paint family/sourcing as will be used on exterior, but any prep and other tips? Thanks in advance for the ideas. |

Hi Tom, I’m also in the process of prioritizing the engine bay to prep it so I can install the engine then do other part of the car. Trying to clean most of it and if I can keep original paint like of the engine bay except the firewall may really need some painting after wire brushing those sticky adhesive.
