Message	Don't do the cheap paint, you will regret it. You can clean the bay, make sure all the grease is off, sand it with 400 grit, featheredge any scratches and get a small compressor and a spray gun. 1 quart of paint will do and some clear. The results are way different, like night and day....... Here are some pictures of my friends NA to TT conversion engine bay. Cleaned Painted Finished
