    Rustoleum?

    I used sherwin Williams all purpose Sprayed great in bad conditions , they mix colors for you and are always having sales, that's the house paint store not the car paint store.

Not sure what you are working on or with it if you wanna drop a mini truck a hair lower you would build a frame out of 2x3 or 2x4 from the fire wall back and welt it to the front clip .

    So I'm painting the fire wall and you get to input!

    It's a 44 gmc I have a build thread on here just haven't updated since body work started. Can't decide to paint the actual firewall off white, it's getting the same colored scallops on the sides, or from the body line for the fenders forward. Thoughts ?
