Message	I have everything gutted out of my engine bay ready to paint it, i found this cherry red pearl nissan paint from dupont i believe? At walmart actually, like 3$ a can. So i figure ill strip out all the old paint, then lay down some primer, sand it lightly, lay this paint down, and then what would you guys reccommend after that? I have looked for a high temp clear coat with little luck. I want my bay to look nice or i wouldnt be going through all this. Suggestions please? (t0m on aim)(10:22:46 PM): theres kinda of an eery "hang on shes comin " kinda moment in big turboed vehicles
