I started removing all the nasty road grime and undercoating from the wheel wells and under the car this weekend with a hand grinder fitted with a coarse wire bit. It will take quite a while to cover the entire car, but it is worth it IMHO. I also removed the sound insulation material from the engine bay and started grinding that area also.

My Question:

-What do you all recommend on using to repaint both the underbody of the car and the engine bay?

I was thinking on POR-15 for the underbody and wheel wells, will this look good under there and hold up to the elements? What about the engine compartment? Will POR-15 withstand the heat? I would like to paint the engine bay possibly red, what paint is good for this?
