Well, I have been debating with myself on what to use to paint the engine bay....first off, this is not a show car, I don't need glossy paint, the metal under hood isn't perfect, I am more practical, as long as its relatively clean under the hood I'm happy. I have been considering using something else...I like a flat black look, but have heard issues as far as it staining really easy, so I also considered that spray-on bedliner stuff...but that may look a little too rough, not sure haven't seen enough pictures. One thing I do know is I dont want super high gloss that shows every flaw in the metal under the hood, and I want something with good resistance to dirt and oil, this will after all be a daily driver for me
