Guest jdgomez Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Looking good! When I work on my car I feel a lot better too, so you're really not alone there. What are your other plans for this project besides the painting of the engine bay? __________________________ Blog by autopartswarehouse.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight-280Z Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well you can't see it in the pics but the paint ran a little in 2 spots, it wasn't that bad....My buddy who painted it is kinda like a perfectionist, he didn't like the run so he repainted the whole thing...then the paint started to web as it dried...Sucks!!!..We are goin to redo it again for the 3rd time today..As plans for the project here they are.

Daeron Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 probly too late, but I have always INFINITELY preferred white or light colors for the engine bay... looks nice though. Whatever color its painted in, a nice, clean, shaved engine bay is a MAJOR detail. I can understand how working on it makes you feel less ill.
