Clear coat spindles? Body painting steps and assembly order?
I have some Ride Tech spindles that are bare and I've read that you don't want to paint them so they are easier to inspect for cracks and such. However, being bare, they will show surface rust and I hate that idea. Would it be okay to just clean them up with some laquer thinner and spray some clear on them? I'm not going to sand blast them or really even sand them, just clean them up.
On the body, the firewall and engine bay will be black so do I paint the edges of the bulkhead, the part on the sides covered by the fender, body color? Should I stop at the top of the firewall with the black and paint under the cowl body color or black like the firewall?
Final newbie question, I plan to have it painted this summer or next, but assemble it myself. Do I install the inner fenders into the outers and then bolt to the car? I'm not sure how to keep from scratching up the inners putting the two together in either case.
