Engine Bay This summer I really want to clean up the engine bay and make it look nice... Right now its all dusty and has leaves and all this crap in it.. I have done the !wire mod so I have holes on the fender wells.. My engine bay theme is satin black with a splash of red here and there.. So my idea was would it look bad if I put bondo over all those random holes that the !wire mod did and paint the fender wells satin black with a spray can? I plan on painting various other things in there satin black to make it all match and clean it up a bit.. Is this possible? Or would it look like crap with spray painted wells?

You can get pretty good quality out of a good spray can. I painted my tail panel with SEM trim black. I get compliments on it all the time. I think it would be a big job to paint it all. You gonna pull out the engine?

Worst dirt/dust I have seen Use Bondo filler/primer and VHT engine Spray Paint on it. It wworks well. I had done it on other camaros.
for Engine Degreaser>Will do use Green Simple or Engine Degreaser. I will do those on this damn dirty.
I just got that Camaro for parts out.
Looks worst dirty/dust I had seen that

i bondo'd the holes when i did the !wire mod the only thing-before you sand the bondo down make sure it is good and dry other wise it will chip off and you will have to apply more. primer the area sand with a lighter grit to get the "circle" to disappear. then when you paint do many light coats-will come out much better than few thick coats.
