getting ready to repair and paint the front end and undercarriage of my 86 tcoupe, any suggestions on primer and paint, was thinking about bill hirsch, I will be welding in a couple new pieces and blasting the rest.

I used duplacolor engine paint w/ceramic (new ford gray) on the under side of my capri! It looks good and its durable.t

my time is limited between my son, house and work it doesn't leave me alot of spare time,  I was thinking about applying with a brush since i don't have the best facility for spraying thats why i was thinking hirsch paint seeing you can apply it with a foam brush, this won't be a show car so i'm looking for the best cost to time ratio as possible. thanks

Use a fine nap or foam roller to do most of it...I painted the underside of mine with a roller

this is all roller finished
