Mudbone Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 What is everyone using for the firewall covers? It looks like undercoating but I am sure there are other methods that give the same look. I have them blasted, primed and coated with semi-gloss so they are ready for some texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemon Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I think the air box plenums were coated with some kind of rubber under coating or something similar to insulate the engine heat for cool air. The boxes I've scraped at the junkyard reminds me of the same stuff I scraped from one of my fenders. Looking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packick Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Mudbone: I used several coats of black crinkle paint to do mine. I think it looks close to what Buick did. You can find it at most hardware stores. Edited March 11, 2018 by packick (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled it. Looks good. I say almost anything except smooth painted metal will be fine.............Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
