[Spridgets] It's always something

[Marc]

Well..... Since the heater box is out, the wiring harness is going to be 
out, and the engine is going to be out shortly, I'm stumbling down that 
road... thinking , "well, the engine bay is looking pretty ratty...." 
Wonder how bad I could screw up painting it myself..."

As usual, I have more questions then answers... Looking to make up the 
shortfall here! :-D

I expect clean up of the area to involve scrubbing, engine cleaner, 
degreaser, possibly pressure washer, scraping, sanding, swearing and 
bleeding...

So, how DO you match up paint colors? I want the engine bay the same 
color as the car.

Are the inexpensive paint guns at horrible freight up to the task of 
spraying the engine bay? This is by no means a show car, just a 
driver... I'm planning on using the rattle cans of green paint for the 
motor. Is there an appropriate shade of green in the off-the-shelf 
engine paint, or is the Moss product the best way to go?
