Paint in the engine bay - Bedliner in the wheel wells
As I've been going through this project I've been getting more and more particular. I always like to do things right, but after a project takes as long as this one has, I want everything I've touched thus far to be as good as I can get it. I pulled the entire front end apart as far as it would go.
Cleaned up the wheel wells, I knocked loose a lot of the original undercoating, cleaned everything thoroughly and primed all the bare metal before hitting it with Monstaliner
I masked off the areas that I didn't want the build up of the bedliner, then painted them with the engine bay.
Wrapped it up in its own cocoon
I did two coats of a 2k high build primer, if I were to do it again, I would have done 3 or 4, I expected the paint to be thicker and hide better, but all and all it looks pretty decent for an engine bay.
I used a 2k semi gloss black urethane paint for my paint for good durability.
