Re: Undercoating bottom of hood?

I had a quart of black DuPont Centuri left over that I bought in 1986. Two years ago I used a 3M 'sandblaster' disk in my grinder to take the hood down to bare metal. I prepped that and sprayed it with PPG epoxy. Over the epoxy I sprayed the single stage black. Two years later it still looks good.

It is a dead bug magnetic howerver.

One more thing. I masked off the braces when I sprayed the black. Then masked the black off and sprayed the body color on the braces.
