Hey Simota, looks awesome! Just a few quick questions:

1. When applying 3 coats, do you mean spraying it, then spraying again, then spraying again.... and letting that dry. Or spray it down once, let it dry, spray it down again, let it dry, etc?

2. Do you reccomend using any sort of clear coat? Or will this paint hold up by itself?

3. I'm guessing this is a good brand of paint, but since it's going to be in a high temp environment, would the paint use to paint calipers also be a good one to use since its made to take the heat of braking?

Thanks br0!

[Edit: I know this is going to sound insanely stupid but I have to ask, does the strut bar need to be removed to remove the engine cover? And if so, does the car need to be on jacks when removing and reinstalling it?]
