My buddy has a shop that basically if you give him your paint code, he puts it in a rattle can for you. It is like a do it yourself single stage paint job in a can.

If I ever have the motor out and am able to paint the engine bay I think Id do it with spray on bedliner stuff. It looks good and its durable.

Not trying to steal the post but I'm about to do mine. Has anyone ever done it with their block still in there? Its stripped down to the block. Btw Capri Debris, that looks awesome. Hope mine turns out that well
