Been a while, got a bit lazy, but I finally got my engine bay cleaned up and primed. It's not like I ****ed the dog, I really put a lot of work into removing all the rust and sealing all exposed metal as soon as possible to prevent oxidizing. So here are the pics of the process... I'm really happy with the end result... next step will be black paint and clear coat, but I'll want to do the fender wells first:

Paint choices for the engine bay
I've been debating on which type of paint/paint process to use for my engine bay. 2 step spray paint, or spray bomb. I purchased a basecoat and clear coat and was planning on taking this route, but considering it's not the exterior of the car, that there is an elevated heat risk and some spots are somewhat difficult to get at with a HVLP spray gun, I chose to go with a spray bomb.
The internet is a wonderful thing...after searching thru the weeb I came across this stuff: VHT hi temp roll cage and chassis paint. It's an epoxy based spray paint, resistant to heat and chemicals, and based on their info, weather resistant.
I figure if i go with the gloss black I should get the look I'm searching for. Satin would be another option, however if the stuff fades in any way, it may not look good for long.
We'll see how it turns out!91 GT- Li'l Bee (under construction)
