Two coats of Rustoleum Enamel. I'm actually surprised how well it turned out considering I was outdoors and I've never done this before.


And here's a sneak peek at what I was working on earlier today:


I'll have keep that Rustoleum enamel in mind for my engine bay and interior, that turned out really nice.

Who makes the switch panel?

Odyssey PC680
I know a few who run these in daily driven E30's and E30 track cars and they've all been happy, usually get 203 years out of them. You should be fine but as ionn said it would be good to have a jump box or full size battery for cold days or when the drat thing doesn't want to start. I'd recommend the battery lives on a tender when not at the track, ideally with the kill swtich off so nothing is drawing power.

Personally I've run the Deka ETX14 in a few track cars and my old DD e30 and never had issues. Only time I was worried it wouldn't start was a 25 degree morning but even then it cranked and fired. The older the car and the less extra crap you have drawing on the battery the better you'll be.
