My "technique" to paint an engine bay with aerosol

Hi guys

Im not sure if its the RIGHT way, but this is how Im doing it.

I didnt paint the engine bay when I painted the car because I planned on an engine conversion (12a to 13brew)

The purchase of the 13b went down the drain, so Im gonna rebuild the old 12a.

Im gonna skip the "lots of tape and paper" part, because you all know you have to cover everything you dont want paint to drop on

First, I cleaned everything with thinner, then lots and lots of soapy water.

First coat was RUSTOLEUM epoxi in black

Then I used another rustoleum product I realy like, its a flaky color. Im posting the label just in case someone wants to get it.
