If you do opt for the Rhino lining option be sure to make provision for the items that need grounding.

Also, either way you go, remove everything or make sure the stuff that can't go is totally masked.
Nothing ruins an engine bay like overspray...looks like you were too lazy.

 

^^ Agreed ^^

The first engine spray was quick just to get a nice color down, but still the only overspray I had was on the harnesses on the driver side frame rail, which is tucked and hidden now.

This time, the hood, fenders, headlights, winsheild cowl all come off. Also Brake booster etc will be removed and painted.

I wish you guys knew how hard it is to keep this white clean, maybe I used the wrong paint the first time but it is rediculous. Washing it does nothing, I have to rub with cleaner wax to remove grime since the paint is so porous. And yes I did clear coat it.

 

Maybe you should consider a porcelain/epoxy finish (like fridge/oven paint).
You'd think that would be less porous.

 

not a bad Idea. I am still in love with the satin black idea. It will make everything else subtle in the bay, and draw attention the black and polished motor, the polished koyo rad etc etc.

I will do a test spot once I weld up the holes and smooth out the passenger shock tower to see how it looks.

 

rhino liner just adds weight. spray paint is fine.

 

well i want a flat finish that is durable that is my main goal.

 

Rhino lining = hard to clean.

If you want satin black and durability, just do a base/clear (urethane, none of the enamel ****) and add flattening agent to the clear.
