Engine Room Paint

[SKYCHENEY]

Rustoleum Canvas White was the perfect color match for my engine rooms.

Using Aluminum Foil to mask hoses and other odds and ends is great advice! Make sure you shut batteries off to alternator before wrapping. I remember taking rbruckner (sp?) up on that advice 15 years ago when I painted my Cummins 903 with rattle can Rust-Oleum 'High Performance" paint. Rob gave me so much great advice back in the day. Paint is still holding up pretty darn well, actually touching up a few spots these season. At time, I only degreased and hosed down entire engines and put paint straight on. Like all things, the more prep you do the better the results and the longer it will last. For gray engine room plywood floor, I used an exterior epoxy paint you find at hardware store that has also held up great.

The Yachtsmawilly Experience! Paint "Thing 1" one one and "Thing 2" on other and really get far out. I miss blacklight posters, model airplanes, and comic books. These were the early markings of the first man-caves.
