Not sure about how picky you are getting with the bay but the primer looks rather light in some areas. Also, you should have covered up the subframe. For the filter you can get a little flexible clamp and bolt it to the firewall like they use to hang fuel lines under a car. ---

im going to drop the subframe out after i get the car back from paint to paint it black again so i didnt bother taping it off, im gona tape it off for the real paint tho because primer is a little bit easier to get off haha ---

Eastwood carries a pretty durable paint for suspension components you may want to look into. It will take a few rocks and not have a problem. Also the plastic paint they have at walmart works pretty damn good for things like that. It’s rather durable for the price, though it’s not the prettiest. ---
