what color spray paint combo is equivalent to battleship gray?

 

a US Navy ship?

 

does that come in a spray can?

 

I think if you go to a hobby shop testors sells battleship gray in spray cans

 

will that stand up in an engine bay?

No, but it makes your car look like a totally cool race car

The compounds that REAL race cars use in their engine bays are not paint, they use a much more durable and epoxy like material.

 

WOW if the guy didn't have a bad enough day yesterday.

its cute.

 

Duplicolor New Ford Grey is what i use

 

Haze gray is the color.

 

LOL yeah... the real race cars use that coating because they acid dip their entire cars for seam welding, cage work, etc.. then they spray that thick coating on to protect the surface and prevent rust.

when i opened this thread, that fergie song came on where she is yodeling at the beginning. or is it gwen stefani? but it totally figures.

 

painting your engine bay that color is wack. <U>Basically going for the track look/'style'. Very poseur-ish. Equivilent to rocking Rota wheels like the elite would say.</U>

media blast your engine bay, stitch weld it and use POR15 on it if you want to do it the right way.

 

well thanks for all the great answers! under the hood of vsm cars is a chalky gray color from the factory and mine is scratched from swapping motors. I like the look of the "battleship gray" and I don't really give a expletive of your opinion about me painting my bay that color. I simply asked how I could duplicate it.

 

hahahah

I used to make the paint when I was on the ship

By no means am i hating but you make it sound like the way you chose to do your bay is the only "right" way.

 

I like that color, looks good.
