What is the best way to go about painting under the bucket, that the headlight sits in?
Hard to get access to.

Remove the headlight assembly. Be sure to mark everything before you take it off as well as pulling the fuses for the motors

I'm talking about the cavity clear down at the bottom, under the bucket.

Not a great spray gun but the paint pot that swivels it helps a lot in the hard to get to spaces. It does ok.

Bad part is I can't get my paws in far enough for a paint gun.

I do happen to have some eastwood's on hand.

Wonder what the factory did with that area?

I sprayed it as well as I could with single stage paint. If look in with a flash light it is not perfect. Still better than when the rats or mice lived in there.
