Question about repaint. Specifically cowl area.

So my interior resto seems to have gotten out of hand. Looks like it will be cab and bed off, engine out. Frame repainted and paint job on truck. Wondering what you guys that have repainted have done with inside cowl area. Thinking about changing colors and trying to figure out how to address prep and paint. Don’t really want to cut it open and put it back together. Thanks for any help.

https://www.eastwood.com/aerosol-noz...sion-hose.html . Would something like this work? Eastwood also sells kits that work off an air compressor.

I am curious about this as well as i am looking to paint the inside of my cowl soon. I was looking at it today and thought about using a detail gun with a hose on it. On the end of the hose putting a spray nipple. The spray nipple that comes from the garden retailer and pierces into black poly line for watering plants. You see them in the produce section of the grocery store when the sprinklers come on. I had thought that this may work as well between the different sections of the cab such as the A and B pillars and above the windshield. Figured it would give a 360 deg spray of paint.

Thanks for the Eastwood link. Might be my best bet. Could probably use it to hose it down with brake cleaner as best I can. Then match the paint color with some rattle cans.

Loosescrews, in your other recent thread on rust - you didn't read my recommendation (in Post #6) of the Eastwood Internal Frame Coating that I linked to and showed you with a large photo?

Another question about interior restoration. Rust.

Does anyone have any suggestions for sealing the seam inside the cowl?
