Well since the world is heald together with Duct Tape I used that
and newspaper. I used plenty of tape and paper.
That step is just common sence. What I have learned from doing 5 cars like this is that the cleaner the brakes are the better the paint application. After cleaning with the wire wheel I use to use a de-greaser but the paint did not adheare to it very well. I have since used liberal amounts of brake clean. It is real caustic stuff so keep it away from painted surfaces.
I then used a couple coats of plain gray primer. THen I used the High Temp Paint form Checkers and applied about 5 coats of that. The dry time depends on your environment. Here is Denver the paint drys REAL quick. The whole car took me about 5 hours. Which actually is not bad.
Hope that helps
