    Painting engine bay....

    I want to paint my engine bay black...whats the best paint to use? I planned on getting some spray paint and maybe just spraying it all into a dish and using a brush and hand brush the whole thing...is there another type of paint i could just buy already mixed for high temps like an engine bay? My engine bay is sandrift with some white overspray and i wanna clean it up, so thats why i decided to just paint the sides of my engine bay black, where you can see.

    Just use engine spray paint. Mask off everything with plastic and masking tape. Make sure everything is clean of grease and dirt.
