savageskaterkid Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Well, its been almost 3 1/2 years since the post, how is this holding up? Would you do it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 It has held up great actually. No peeling or chipping of any kind. I still wish I would have left the paint in there over this but it still looks pretty good like it is. If you want durable this is your answer. You want pretty then paint it.

savageskaterkid Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'm looking for function. I'd rather do rust repair in a spot one time, then never again. And I know in trucks its fairly easy to clean at the car wash with a power washer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift00 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 i unercoated my engine bay..i turned out pretty nice... i think it looks better than the herculiner, but still has the same pricipal behind it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelToad Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I dont like the way it looks, but if it were an engine bay I was working in frequently, I would do it in a heartbeat. Sometimes pretty aint practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I like it BUT black engine bays just look cheap to me. I guess Im used to seeing everyone rattle can their engine bays flat black that it just got old. I agree, and I have a truck with a rattle canned engine bay, it's a DD (mostly), so the black was easier at the time than to paint it a matching green to the colour change on the exterior. The Blue looked great, bedliner covered engine bay FTL! Looks like you're trying to hide something, kinda like rocker guard 6" up the side of a car.

Evan Purple240zt Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 My engine bay is super scratched up, check out the photos in the RB forum under 336hp 375tq (or whatever it says). Next time the motor comes out, its bedliner time. I work in there way to much to worry about nice paint. Everything is really stuffed in there.

buZy Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 We used brush-on Rustoleum Flat Black at your local hardware store. Looks great. Durable. Functional. Very low cost. Easy to clean and touch up maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 This is recent pic from last summer... I really don't think it looks bad at all and it's super low maintance! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
