I am almost done with my engine for my 71 camaro. i am wondering what the best way to get the engine compartment clean and painted. i want to get the inner fenders ,firewall front radiator support area etc. what primer should i use and what kind of paint.also, what is the best sandpaper to use.

I take you are going to do this with the car together so I would get the best degreaser and presser wash then use 320 grit sandpaper to feather edge any scratch or chips then wash with wax and grease remover and (then paint I use a oem recondition black)but it is hard to find you can use a under hood black that eastwood sells
