i did it to corvette motor and trans on vette i sold looked wicked shiney. 1.4 tip gun,air drill wire wheeled/hand sanded it like crazy, shot epoxy on it first good light coat to cover all bare metal and old paint, few coats of dupont base coat them cleared with 7600 clear. many thin fine coats is what you want. looked like car paint job when i was done. everyone said car clear would yellow under heat,or car base would peel off, looked mint after many beat downs and long heat cycles
