Bay looks good, just krylon, did you prep it much? Im still debating body color vs black, but that looks good.

Really, not much prep. I sprayed it down with engine degreaser, steam cleaned it, then I used scotch-brite type pads on everything I could get to, then used laquer thinner to clean everything before spraying with glossy black engine rattle can paint. Not perfect, but it looks pretty good.

Like I said, it's going to be a daily driver, so I'm not trying to get a show car quality finish. But, both my son and I are happy with the results.

Thats how me and my dad did it when I rebuilt my motor, turned out just like yours...looks great byt he way.
I just spent a few days cleaning and then sprayed it, and the underside of the hood. I also added some foil backed heat shielding to the hood, maybe something to think about the factory stuff looks kinda grungy usually.
