its amazing she actually does work on cars!

:leghump: ers


What paint do you use? I want to paint my engine bay soon.

edit

where can I go to get my paint mixed and put in rattle cans? I dont think they make my cars paint any more

I do have semi gloss black mixed from the last shop I worked at but I figure I'll save that for when I have the engine out and can do everything with minimal masking/prep. While I had the headers out I figured I'd weld in some patches on the wheel wells and fix some other rust, prime the areas then hit it with rustoleum semi gloss black. You can go to any shop and have them mix the color for your car and make it semi gloss, but then you would need a spray gun and air compressor.

looks good ted! whens the car gonna be up and running again?

any compotent auto body supplier or shop can mix your original factory color for you.

but can they put it in a areosole can?

edit would the color code be on my rpo code?

no they cant put it in a spray paint can.

the paint code would be on the body tag located on the cowl.

Alex should take example from her :lol:

:owned:

You can get something similar to an aerosol can. It's a glass jar that the paint goes into and then the top is a disposable air canister/nozzle that gets screwed onto the jar for spraying. Still not as good as a gun and compressor though.

What did I tell you Ted... the less pictures you take, the faster that car gets on the road :lol:

I forgot i had these, I bought 3 when i was buildign the Monte SS and painting like everything with POR-15. I got these through the POR-15 Store and only used one. Worked decent with the thinner required, and helped to get inside where a brush couldnt get. I could use these to paint my SS engine compartment, but now that i have a compressor, ill buy a HVLP gun.

awsome!! ted: do you usually have the hood insulation on your hood?

I did, but I think I'm gonna leave it off and paint under the hood

Looks good, but it needs to run for everyone to see it in person :-D
