What type of paint should I go back with to resist any oil and debris? What do you fellas use? Or will regular automotive paint be fine? This will by no means be show worthy under the car just want to clean it up a little, by the way the only driving it will see is on the strip an 1/8 th of a mile at a time.

I doubt that he will be going fast enough in the 1/8 mile for that to make any measurable difference. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
