Painting the engine bay. Did I just mess up? Part 42.

[@68mustangrestoration34]

I agree that flat or satin looks way better.Gloss is simply too distracting plus it shows irregularities that you would not normally notice. She looks wonderful, I hope we get to follow her journey all the way to completion whatever path that takes. You truly have great skills, patience (considering you had to scuff and repaint the engine bay twice) and respect for the car itself to ensure it will be the best it can be. this is getting exciting

[@Jeremy_Shaver]

You didn’t mess up. Definitely made the right choice.

[@josemedeiros007]

The Mustang engine compartment looks great Barry, you are a true perfectionist. I used Dupont Imron on my 1965 Mustang Fastback in 1983 and on my 1966 Mustang Fastback engine compartment in 2005, as it is chemical resistant, and chip resistant and used on Airplane's and Fleet Semi's. I mainly wanted to prevent brake fluid from eating up the paint, that happened to me on my engine compartment before my friends dad who was the lead painter at Flyers Body Shop in San Jose sprayed it for me in 1983, I sprayed the Dupont Imron paint myself in 2005, as my friends dad passed away from lung cancer in the 1990's.

Impatient to see the suspension rebuilt. Important step. At this time it will really be a car. Thank you for the the videos Barry😉

[@billy.s.warner]

[@micseph6186]

[@errolpoxleitner9586]

Looksvery good you made the right choice.

[@ptdave2002]

Glad I voted for Satin on FB!

[@FE428Power]

Holy inner fenders Batman!

[@stevesmoneypit6137]

I always liked that Mopar painted engine compartment body color!

[@jeffcampbell-ue1nv]

You've made more progress on slither in the last year then I' ve made on my project in the last four years. Looks great! Like the idea of using the windex. Keep up the great videos. Greatly appreciate all the work you put into them.

[@brunohoutwipper4225]

Great show to watch. Agree with the color

[@rcguygarage]

This is ALSO where your conscience comes into play. You could have just said whelp this is what he sent but your thought process said beyond that. So wish Charles could see your continued effort to create what he wanted within the constraints you were given after the fact. 👍💯👊

[@67Stang]

I think you made the right choice. That bay looks great.

[@johnwighaman4046]

Satin 😊

[@steelponiesjeff]

Looks really good. Thanks for explaining your process.

[@davidbrown-55]

Very nice! I’ve had great success gun spraying that rust oleum by thinning with acetone. Levels out better and dries even. Great progress

[@leonardgilbreath9004]

Great job on this one looking forward for the next video thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍

[@mikepouliot3630]

Semi Gloss is the way to go. Cleans up easier and will fade a little over time.

[@eddiejeselink2996]

After watching this last time, I was at that same point in my Boss rebuild. I had 3 cans of Satin Krylon and 3 cans of the rustolium, the later looks amazing. Thank you. Again I'm at the exact same spot as you.

[@Timbo428CJ]

I'd be happy with that!

[@rcguygarage]

It'll be a well protected area for sure.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

😂

[@MrJoea11]

Nice choice and process

[@PonyRestorer1970]

Awesome job sir!

[@davetyson2331]

turned out nice great video thanks

[@RandallSoong-pp7ih]

Excellent!!

[@troyjustet8315]

You made a good choice with the satin. I like a little shine but the first paint was too shinny.

[@Juntasification]

What about all the brackets for fuel, brake, wiring, heatshields, plastics etc? That stuff kept my project on a grill for two more months.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

I don’t know what will happen after I get the pint on the body done.

[@FE428Power]

Ditto on the Windex

That music is def car porn music, lololol!!

[@JoDaddysGarage]

😂 my own creation to avoid copyright claims…

[@foxjunk73]

Spent all that time just to rattle can? Use PPG AUE400-LG single stage satin is the correct sheen for that bay.

[@chipdunham148]

👍🏽😎

[@rickgaine3476]

you never messed up on painting, you just have happy accidents.

[@williamguillIII]

Does that red oxide primer come in spray cans, and, if so, what brand?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

I don’t know.

[@mycowboyways915]

Seymour Paint makes a High Tech red oxide primer in a spray can.

[@williamguillIII]

@@mycowboyways915 Thanks!
