I decided I want to make the car a roller and get it on all fours before doing any final gapping. With that the car will need to come off the dolly and have all the new suspension installed first. I figured I would paint the engine compartment now so that I can install the drivetrain completely as well.
I decided that I wanted the engine compartment to be body color, but with a matte clear. I am painting the car using PPG from start to finish. The base coat is PPG's Envirobase water base system, and for the matte clear I used the Global D8115 pre matted clear for a uniform look.
Back at home I decided to remark everything and spray the cross members and "frame" rails and spray them a matte black. I know it's anybody car, but I kind of like how it gives it a look of being a subframe…..
