Well, I decided to paint my engine bay to match the rest of the car. I stripped it clean to the frame and built a paint booth in my driveway to spray it. I used ppg DCU2042 clearcoat. WHAT A MISTAKE! Anyone going to spray their engine bay stay away from this clear. It is a speed clear. It dries so fast that by the time you finish a coat, the part you started on has dried enough that the overspray does not blend in. My engine bay is now full of overspray and has quite a bit of orange peel too. And color sanding inside the engine bay is damn near impossible. My only recourse is to sand it all smooth and respray a different clear on top.
AARRGGG....this also means I can't take the mk2 to Vegas....AGAIN!
. My poor mk2 hasn't seen Vegas since 99. Seems every time the Vegas event comes around it's always down.
*SIGH*
