Default Engine bay - Matte or High gloss ?
So I guess im going to bother painting my engine bay when I remove the engine soon, and was planning to do it matte, but im also considering just base/clear high gloss. Figured it wouldnt hurt to see opinions.

No, car will be blue, its really just a matter of gloss, or matte, I have the basecoat, have matte clear, and regular clear, though I was thinking if I do matte i may just get some single stage to match, and use flattening agent.

Yeah, i'm leaning towards the satin, for an oem look, most of what im doing underhood will be that route for a year or so, till I go L92 longblock.
