painted half my engine bay Well I did this once before but now with more knowledge i did it again. I smoothed out the wrinkled metal. I prepped all the existing paint, and steel with 220 grit paper.
Welded holes closed, and grinded them down.
Applied filler and block sanded with 120 then 220
Applied self-etching primer wet sanded with 400
Applied thick coat of filler primer sanded with 400
Applied mist coat of black
Applied wet coat of black x2
Applied mist coat of clear
Applied wet coat of clear x4
With filler
Now to do the other side..
