    Rattle can primer..what to buy ?

    Thanks for the information. I've got 2 questions. First how well did the spray paint cover the surface (did it take more cans than you expected)? Second I guessing that the paint was a custom mix put into spray cans, Do you mind saying the aprox price per can ? Thanks so much.

    Painting engine bay..single stage or 2 stage paint
