Painting Under The Hood
Alright so I've already talked to Danny about some of this and he's told me about the spray on bedliner and all that. But after that what is my best option for spray paint?
I am looking to do a Monster Energy theme for my whole truck. For those of you that have seen my pictures I have big MONSTER decal across my back window. So I am going to want everything under the hood (engine will be an exception for now. and some other little things) to be either black or Monster energy green(or as close to it as I can get)
Do I definately need to use a heat resistant paint?
I have looked at Dupli-Color Engine Enamel and High Heat.
Good choices? or are there better ones?
Also, I am wanting to paint my brake calipers Monster Energy green. Any ideas on that?
I saw some kits at Advanced Auto and some other places that are specifically for calipers.
However they only come in red, black, and white(I think). Any ideas on how to go green on that?
I DO NOT want this to get very expensive. I'm sure i can get pros to do it all the EXACT color I want it all to be. However I'd rather save alot of green and be close enough doing it myself.
'Preciate any answers that come in and any opinions on other things I could do to "Monster" my truck. I am going to be getting 20" KMC XD series Monster rims asap so i'm good on that. I'll need ideas on how to black out everything else on my truck too.
Once again thanks for the help
