Thanks

The engine bay is an Omni brand black epoxy primer shot from a cheap harbor freight gun. I am really not that happy with it to tell you the truth. I had used SPI brand epoxy on another cars engine bay and expected similar quality from the Omni. It is pretty soft for an epoxy and if I did it over I would use another brand.

The undercoating is a a textured (little pieces of rubber) polyurethane from a company called durabak. I have been pretty happy with it overall. It has cured pretty hard for a polyurethane and went down easy. I just used a cheap undercoating gun of amazon.com to spray it.
