Hey guys, my car still needs some work to be finished, but the engine is about to go in, and i want to paint the engine bay beforehand. I was going to paint the whole car a dark gunmetal color (2 stage) but unsure what to do in the engine bay... I was thinking of doing the same gunmetal color, but single stage like the factory(more of a matte finish)
Where can i get decent paint for reasonable prices?
Thanks guys!

I'm with you on the gunmetal. If i ever get around to painting FrankenBlazer, it will be gunmetal. Maybe a two tone blue/gunmetal. Mine will get a 50' paint job so I'm no help on "decent paint for reasonable prices."

Many auto parts stores will make rattle-cans of OEM paint. I live in WI and would never have paint shipped in the Winter.
If you are looking for a 'stealth' look use gloss paint with a matte clear coat.
