So on Monday I yanked out the motor on the hatch and threw it into the vert so now my hatch is technically a roller. Now that I have everything out I want to clean up and get the engine bay looking nice. Big question is how much paint should I buy to spray my engine bay?

It's just the engine bay so single stage is good enough for me.

Just visualize that engine compartment as a brick wall, the HVLP gun as a mere can of spray paint & let your natural instincts take control of your hand.

87_ssp: that's just regular spray cans? If it is it might be worth a shot see how it comes out.
