Under hood prep....any suggestions?

When I painted my engine bay, it was of course stripped and naked otherwise like yours is now but what I did before anything spraying was done was use tape on the backside of all the holes. No interior overspray!

I used an epoxy primer and then the Butterscotch/Bahama Yellow single stage. It’s not great but it’s just fine for the “Drag Car” purpose of the car.

Just don’t go crazy on a single pass complete coat attempt for ether the primer or paint.

The emergency brake cable was wrapped in tape and the boarders of the hood and cowl.
Then everything was later installed.
