dont waste your money on doing the entire engine bay.... regular paint will work fine

LMAO^^^^

Nothing says love like Krylon!!!!
I rattle canned my engine bay and it looked excellent until I painted the car and alot of over spray and dust got all over it. I need to rattle me up another can of gloss black and do some touch up.

The thing is, i have had the car for 11 years and i dont want it to ever scratch or get crummy looking. POR 15 is pretty much the only way to go right? It also hides a lot of imperfections (so i was told). Im going to be welding all of the misc holes closed and making it look all pretty.

If you are going show quality weld up the holes and put the POR 15 on the backside of the fender and then have the engine bay painted car color.
