I'm debating engine bay painting. It's not a show car or original paint. Metal has imperfections. Hoping for simple clean finish that hides dirt and flaws.
The car is dark blue. Most of the engine bay is already dark blue. But dark blue really shows the dirt and imperfections. Maybe a flat/satin clear coat would help? Thought about splatter paint - but the stuff I've found is water soluble. Maybe something textured. Wrinkle paint? Truck bed liner? Rust-Oleum Multi-Color Textured Spray? |

Spray can splatter paint is crap. Good luck getting it to stay on for more than 3 days unless you clear over top of it. Rustoleum pro series satin black. Make certain the metal is clean of grease, oil, dirt etc. Scuff it up with a scotch brite pad and spray away
