Re: painting inside cowl

Inside the cowl is nearly an impossible place to paint.  I masked the daylights out of everything and hand applied the paint with whatever gizmos I could fit inside, like sponges, small rollers etc.  Wasn't pretty, but it is protected.

Go to Eastwood site online.
They have Rust Encapsulator Paint and a 24" nozzle extension (part# 12512) that will reach in to inside of cowl.
Black Rust Encapsulator paint   16060Z
24" nozzle  12512
I use the Prep Spray to clean out the Nozzle extension for later use.  Part#10041Z
As far as tackling flakey paint you will need to Dream that up yourself

the nozzle should fit other spray paint cans.

Re: painting inside cowl

Just thinking out loud here.....What if....you pour paint in thru the cowl grille and have the car tilted to one side........then tilt to the other side!?
Like they say in Georgia......"let 'er slosh on one side and  t'other"!
Why wouldn't that work?

Re: painting inside cowl

When I put torque boxes in my 66 I used weld through primer to coat all the bare metal. When done I used 3M cavity wax and their wand kit. The kit has 3 wands in one foot increments. It works very well getting into all the little spots.
