Well, I may have a solution - using your information the local automotive parts store may be able to have the paint made up and put into spray cans. The estimate at this point is around $15 per can, which is really not that unreasonable. I will follow your advise concering the undercoats. I started to wet sand the wheel wells last night with good success. I will, of course, have to take all of the paraphernalia off the left wheel well, but will be leaving the fan housing on the fire wall, etc. Just mask those items and paint them black at a later date.
The wet sanding took me back to the time I was about 14-15 years old when a buddy and I used to prep cars for his father, the Ford dealer. He would give us an old beater and we would rebuild the engine, and then sand out all of the chips in the paint - the local paint shop would do the paint. About the time we thought we were kings of the road, the father would get the car sold and we would have to start all over again. Cheap labor, but we loved those old cars. The last one we did was a 1958 Ford Fairlane with a 352 cu. in. police interceptor engine. We tuned that baby to a fair-thee-well, got the exterior painted in light blue and white, then added a sparkplug to the exhaust pipe. When we flipped the switch to the sparkplug, you could hear and see us coming for miles!!!! At the speeds we drove, I am lucky to still be alive...
