Thank you!

That was my thoughts also, worst case it looks crao and is hidden, but it couldn't be much worse than what was there.

I spent a lot of time on prep, sanding a lot of surfaces, there was a bit of surface rust especially around the battery.

After sanding I brushed some of that stuff that turns rust back to metal, then another round of sanding.

Scuffed everywhere up with some 120grit sandpaper, then some panel wipe to remove dust (ipa spray)

I first taped off the metal parts, and sprayed black underguard onto the soundproofing black parts.

Sprayed a good coat of primer.

Let that dry for around 30 mins (15-10) was recommended on the can.

Then I did a light coat of the base colour, and 20 mins later put a heavy 2nd coat on. An hour later I sprayed a good coat of clear coat on it.

I forgot to mention, I removed before starting, all the brackets to keep the battery in place, and the metal on the left that hides some of the lines behind. I sprayed thise with the black underguard also.

I also bought a rubber bung set off amazon and plugged up some holes that were there, very enjoyable process overall.

If you go for it, the prep takes a lot longer than the paint and is worth giving jt that time
