Im about to get the rest of my harnesses out this weekend, and im going to prep and spray can my engine bay... i dont have the time, patience, or funds to take it to a pro to get it painted, so im just going to spray bomb it till i have the money to get it done right. i just want to drive that car for now.

question #1: what brand of paint should i use that will hold up for a while? (duplicolor, krylon etc)

question#2: besides cleaning and using a scuff pad, do i need to do any more prep such as using a primer / self etching primer?

Thanks in advance!
