Painting the engine compartment

[toqwik]

My car, 68 Charger, is far from ready for paint, but I would like to go ahead and paint the engine bay so I can start reassembling my car.  Where is the best place to tape it off near the tops of the fenders and the cowl as to not have a line left when the body gets painted?

I don't have any really good pictures for you, but there's a bit of an obvious seam between the fenders and front clip that would make for a decent tape-off point.  Also, there's a lip along the cowl that you could tape off too.  Paint up to the bottom edge of it when you do the engine bay, then when you do the rest of the body you can paint the cowl and the top part of that lip.  Just my

are you removing the fenders? If not just cut in all the way up to the top, If you are removing them I would paint the compartment then and cut the fenders in off the car.

Yeah, fenders are off.

just tape off what you don't want painted at the cowl, If there's a line it should get smothed down during final sanding and it can be taped off to give a soft edge when the body is shot so the transition between the jamb and the top will be line free.
