[doc] Re: Painting the engine comparment

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok.. i would personally use a grey 'plastic' paint primer and a 
couple of satin black top coats, plastikote is stuff ive used in the 
past on fibreglass. A good degrease and preparation is the key to 
make sure the stuff stays on :)

When its done post some pics of it somewhere.
