For an engine bay cheap job I suggest the cheap Duplicolor High heat resistant paint Flat black. or what ever color just flat
you also wanna prep the engine bay also with 400 or 320.
Thats how mine came out I'm happy
Well tonight I finished the final 6th coat pictures will be taken in the mourning before and after the buffing and wet sanding.

can't wait to see them, I think I'm gonna start painting mine during spring break when it gets warmer.
edit: the stock rims are paintable with rustoleum using the same methods right?

wow this is looking great, im trying it on my supra as well, for now its just a little spot on the roof of the car til i get the hang of it, 1st coat doesnt look to bad, i think i got a decent mixture. i will start my own thread soon as i get the whole car sanded and everything, just wanted to say your car is lookin awesome and its encouraging.
im doing a fender just to see the results but mine bubbled up really bad and they didnt pop. its like 50 degrees outside. so is it the temp or possibly the paint being to thick that would cause these bubles
supraguru i think your paint being to thick would be the cause. mine is pretty thin just a little thicker then water and i had a few bubbles but not many and they all popped, the ones that didnt pop i lightly (the weight of the roller) rolled over the bubbles and the first coat looks good, smooth and no orange peel, im going to cover up that spot and sand the rest of my car tonight and tomorrow
Sounds about right to me you need more to mix more mineral spirits in your paint.
Still not done yet waiting for morning to finish polishing.

thanks guys thats what i was thinking it was. i think its just flat to cold outside right now. i painted in between 40-50 degree weather so i think its a combination. for a reference im already at 66% paint 33% mineral spirits
Well I seemed to some how screw up on wet sanding the final coat so I'm going to sand down with 800grit dry and attempt again.
Wetsanded A little bit to much and when you have the right mix you wont have orange peal or to much orange peal any way a little bit is fine.
Also do not use a high speed buffer if you do make sure its on lowest speed.
