Engine Well Painting

[SCHOONER]

Hi Guys its Schooner again

I'm going to pull my engine soon. In order to PAINT THAT DARN MESSY ENGINE WELL.

So here I am with a foldable engine hoist and a buddy willing to get this ol' man a helping hand ~ GOD bless Tom.

THE QUESTION(S)

Just how in the world is the best way to approch this project

I MEAN WHAT TO DO FIRST:
LIKE: WHAT TO USE TO GET RID OF THAT LUMBY BLACK UNDER-COATING THAT IS SMEARED ALL OVER THE FIRE WALL AND FENDERS AND AT ONE POINT EVEN ON THE UNDER SIDE OF MY HOOD.

I took care of the hood with: "GOO GONE" What GREAT STUFF that is.
SECONDLY: SHOULD I USE AN EPOXY PRIMER
AND LASTLY: I WANT TO PAINT THE ENGINE WELL THE SAME COLOR OF MY CAR. THINK IT WILL LOOK SHARP.

THE COLOR IS: TAHOE TURQUOISE or TAHOE TURQUOIS METALLIC
IT DOES HAVE SOME KINE OF FLAX IN THE PAINT. WHAT'S WHY I THINK ITS 'TAHOE TURQUOISE MATALLIC'

" WHERE IN THE WORLD WILL I GET SUCH A SPRAY PAINT COLOR "
I'VE LOOKED AND GAVE-UP, NEED HELP ON THIS ONE TOO GUYS.

ANYWAY(S) . . . lol

JUST HOW ON GODS GIVEN EARTH WOULD YOU GUYS APPROCH THIS PROJECT IF ITS WERE YOUR CAR. SOMETIME THOUGH I THINK IT REALLY IS YOUR CAR ! ! !

O.K. GENTLEMEN I'M IN YOUR HANDS AGAIN ~ THANK GOD
