Hi,

I have been doing a search to find out specifically what I need to repaint my engine compartment on my 68 mustang. I want to keep it the satin black, but haven't found specifics on the exact primer, paint system I need along with if I need a sealer coat. I have replaced a lot of the sheet metal in the engine compartment and will be sanding everything down to bare metal. Any help is greatly appreciated. BTW, I will be using a compressor/HVLP gun.

Thanks!

All you need is SPI black epoxy primer for that satin look.
