I'm in the process of repainting the engine bay of a s13 with the rb20det in the bay. Do you think I need to sand the ground points in the engine bay after painting it? Or do you think that it'll still provide a good enough ground through the paint to the chasis?

Grind to bare metal, bolt down the ground and paint over it again for a nice appearance.
