Painting firewall question
 

What would be a good paint to use to paint my firewall? I want to paint the entire firewall area including the upper cowel vent area. I'm debating about using POR15 as I still have almost a gallon of it and I like the way it looks. I would do the chassis coat also so the UV rays don't affect it. Here's a pic of my firewall as it sits now. I'm just in the process of grinding the welds down and cleaning it up. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

I would never use por on the firewall. Maybe on the inside of the cabin, but I would never put it on the engine bay. A few wet coats of epoxy should be fine.

Same color as you plan on painting the body

yep, that actually works:thumbsup:

body color or sem hot rod black or duponts hot rod black single stage.or black base, flat clear

I used PPG's version of the stock GM underhood black...and I like it a lot!

black imron or chroma one single stage. add a flattening agent if you want..

I used Por-15 and their Chassis Coat black on my firewall and inner fenders.

What I started with:

Thanks for the advice guys. I think I will likely end up atleast getting it in primer first. I wanted to atleast get the grinding done before I put the subframe back underneath as it's just been powder coated.

Do you have any good pics of how it turned out?
