I blew apart the whole front end (non-Mustang but I'm planning to do the same to my stang) and wire wheeled, Por15, TieCoat primer, and top coated with ChassisBlack. It's not 100% complete but it looks awesome so far and seems very durable. It's definately not cheap though. I didn't sand after the wire wheel to give the por15 something to grip but I sanded the primer smooth. I'd already stripped out the suspension to replace so it wasn't that big a deal to break everything down.

 

Hello,
just refreshing the thread,

I am about to be renewing the engine bay with satin black and I'm wondering what colour should I pain underhood ? Silver blue as the whole car? or also satin black as rest of engine bay?

Right now I have it painted as the whole car and never seen any car with underhood painted black. Anyone has any photo ?

I would appreciate,
thanks
