Painting Engine Bay!
Hey everyone, it seems like I'm in the same boat as a few of you. I've been slowly working on my 69 Barracuda convertible over the winter. Cleaning up interior pieces, fixing my grills, etc. But now that the weather has improved, my Dad and I have pulled the motor and transmission and this weekend I'm hoping to sandblast the engine bay to get it ready for painting and priming. I'm a rookie at this, never painted anything this significant before and wanted to get some advice on the primer. Should I go with an epoxy primer, a self-etching primer or something else? Any advice would be appreciated.
Here is a quick picture of my engine bay before the master cyliner, transmission and steering column/box were removed. Everything has since been removed and it's ready to be wrapped, taped and stripped.
