Bonjour :withstupid:

I want to paint (not spray) the back off the bolkhead part in the engine bay.
Could i do this it black ? or would it be nicer in the red. if in the red, would it have to be the same code red ?
And also. what kind of brush on pain would i use. ?

Reason for wanting to do this is. i chiped a bit of paint off from the back in the engine bay, :withstupid:
and want to cover it up :errr:

Thanks

i have been doing a bit of painting under the bonnet recently using hammerite type paint and if you thin it out with thinners a bit you can get an awesome finish with no brush strokes as long as the metal underneath is flat :errr:
