Re: [FWDLK] Engine compartment details/colors? 1959 Dodge

Lou, I agree with Ron, except that I'd paint all my underhood stuff
gloss black, those pieces will get dirty-enuf, soon enuf, so that the
gloss will lose some of its gloss, but still be shiney.

just don't CLEAR COAT anything, under there,
ESPECIALLY, the heater-housing!! IMHO, NOTHING looks so-cheesy,
"short-cutted" and "un-knowledgeable",  and/or
commercial-sale/profit-oriented (take your 'pick'!) as a clear-coated
heater-housing.

BTW,  in 57 - 58, the generator WAS painted a semi-gloss/satin, but its
end-plates were natural-finish.

Most people (incl moi) apply Eastwood's "bare-cast-iron" paint to the
exhaust manifolds--they're a dead-giveaway, but they're prettier than
(correct) rusty-manifolds--and they're not very-visible, on our cars.

You want a JOB???--try keeping your carburetor(s) looking
"factory-new"!!
