Respraying advise
As some may be aware I'm in the process of freshening (or destroying!) my engine bay. Well after spending Sat degreasing the whole bay I really want to start rubbing down any signs of rust & giving the bay a coat of gloss black!
I don't think it warrants a whole engine bay respray so I suppose I'm asking if I can get a good finish using spray cans........
I know the local parts shop will mix the colours up for you so that's not an issue, but was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction wither to key the surface up, primer etc etc.
Also need to add stone chip under the arches, so is there any brands etc I should be looking out for / steering clear of!
Thanks awfully!!
What what what!

Spray cans gotta be a no-no....
Not unless your goin Ghetto style on the car all of a sudden....
Too much work rubbing it down and primering it to not do it properly....just pay the dollar and get someone to do it properly....if you use cans and fook it up, your gonna be fooked off u had to pay to get it done twice anyways
