Engine compartment touch up paint

[travhous]

Sorry I don't have before and after pictures, but I thought I would pass this along.

I had brake fluid leak from the master cylinder and ate away all the paint from the fender well. I also removed some unused brackets as I am in the process of doing a engine swap. At some point I will be repainting the entire engine bay, but the missing paint below the brake fluid reservoir and bare metal below the removed brackets was bugging the heck out of me.

I was at my local hardware store getting some house paint matched and it dawned on me that they also color matched oil paint. So, next time I was in True Value I brought one of the removed brackets and for $8 I had touch up paint. As far as my truck goes the engine compartment doesn't have any metallic in the paint so it matched quite well. I painted well over half of the left side fender well and touched up numerous spot on the other panels. I used a paint brush with multiple light coats and it sure looks better than it did before.

I did find one picture that kind of shows the damage from the brake fluid.
