Engine bay paint
Believe me, Doc, if I can do it, you can do it! I sprayed the engine bay, the trunk and the inside shell before I sent it to the paint shop. Saved me a lot of money - I know since I asked what they would charge to do all that. Even with the pricey spray cans I saved about $2000, and I can guarantee you it's a better job than the factory turned out in those parts of the car. I'm sure that the metallic Plum Crazy is probably comparable to the metallic turquoise that you would be shooting as far as difficulty. You can't tell where the body shop paint and my work starts and stops. An old body man told me never to paint under the hood with base coat/ clear coat, so he painted under the hood of the Dart in my avatar with single stage and then the rest of the car in bc/cc. The clear coat can yellow over time when subjected to engine heat especially on the inner fenders near the exhaust.
