I'm not restoring my car but rather refurbishing/preserving it. 21K on the clock and stored indoors the last 18 years (2 years outside but under a cover unfortunately when I was young and broke!). I am just now digging into looking at some finishes in my engine compartment. Thought I'd share what I found to be interesting paint marks.
Happy to share anything else that may be interesting to you on this forum. Lots more pics in my "start" thread in my signature.

I'm also interested in your thoughts as I have the engine apart on cleaning/painting again with the idea of preserving rather than restoring. The areas that have surface rust like the water pump pulley washer, shock mounts etc. that have bare finishes, I am thinking about cleaning them then applying a matte clear coat. What would you do?
Thx!
