Finally got to painting the engine bay. Used an etching primer and Duplicolor white wheel paint. Since this is going to be a rally car and not a concours quality build, I thought wheel paint might be pretty good for providing a tough finish.
I forget how imperfections in the surface are magnified after painting...but again, rally car, not show car. I'm pretty happy that I didn't see more than one or two paint drips, and it'll be great looking from 10' away. If it dries as good as it looks now, I may be temped to paint the whole car with rattle cans. At least if I need a touch up, its $6.49 at the corner parts store. Hmmm....
