Engine compartment paint color?

Absolutely do it body color. No reason at all to go the black "Chebby" route.

Sure you can get black spray cans and this makes it easy and cheep..... But did you know you can get body color spray cans for a little more?

Go to a paint mixing house or a NAPA that mixes paint. They can scan the color off the body and mix exactly what you need into a spray can.

A little primer, some scuffing and your engine compartment can look like a million bucks for fifty bucks.

OK, I never talked about rattle cans. I am talking about PPG base/clear which is very expensive. I already opted to paint the 72 Demon motor the Hemi Orange instead of the blue. I have the mopar black valve covers, and aluminum heads with tti headers and an aluminum radiator, alonf with a k 7 n air filter and an aluminum holley with black metering blocks and base. So this is kind of a custom deal and not a stock rebuild. That is why I was asking. Not because I wanted to cheap out with rattle cans??
