If you go to bare metal use a self etching primer, Krylon makes it in dark
red, muddy brown, Polys are also sold in spray cans. Some great spray jobs
have been done with cans. Under the car I would use under coat, Keeps the
sound down and was an original option. Just allow plenty of time for the
primer to dry ,and the recomended times on the cans between coats of paint.
Good Luck Carl E.
