i don't mean to hijack the thread but, would that paint be good for the 'CETA' mod then since it's next to the exhaust piping?

You should be fine..... i painted my intake with this and i doubt the exhaust heats that panel up at all.

Simple, Clean, and Understated I love it! I actually chose to do semi-gloss under the hood of my 69 but yours looks great. We used rust-oleum too

I've used rustoleum and Duplicolor from cans and I like Rustoleum 10x's better for a cheap black paint job I'm sticking with that from now on.

I like your plates too OP>

Thanks guys....

Installed my 408 and got it tuned.... Put down 520/513 on a base tune with only 19* of timing at WOT ..... still got some work to do with the tune.
