Engine bay paint
So ive spent a couple minutes on the search bar didnt come up with too much, basically what im trying to find is the factory engine bay color. I primed the bay already and tried a little bit of flash red in a duplicolor rattlecan and its wayy too bright, not sure if i should just base coat it with aH3 my exterior color or what anyone run into this? Pics and info would greatly be appreciated thanks

Its always looked a little different to me maybe just from heat and fading and grime..i work with a guy who restores cars he said its usually a different color and he sent me to a place but i had no luck apparently japanese colors are weird idk. Worse comes to worse i do the exterior color im ocd with this kinda stuff even went far as caulking the shock towers after repairing the rot lol..

i think its the same.. the engine bay paint just doesnt have as much clear coat and shine as the exterior cause it doesnt need it being that it not really affected by the weather and such..

I always paint my engine a satin black. I notice on my pathfinder thats what nissan does.
