stravi757 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 ok so i have my engine bay all primed up and ready for paint but i dont know what color to paint it. i want something that stands out, or that i can stare at forever and not get tired of looking at. I have looked at everyone's engine bays in this thread Show Off Your Engine Bay! Pics Wanted, L-series, but i just didnt see anything that really stands out to me(not that they are bad or anything). My car is black, i am leaning towards painting the engine bay blue, but i dont know what kind of blue, i am open to anything but like i said i want to paint it a color that stands out. someone here did this a while ago, if anyone knows this paint code let me know. this is the blue i want, but if anyone has any pics of other engine bays from any car that look really nice or if you know any nice colors that you would like to suggest please let me know(paint code #'s would be great) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g9m3c Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Looks kind of like the LeMans Blue available on 04-07 C6 Vettes under the paint code WA933L. We painted a street rod this color a couple of years ago, and it is a truly beautiful color, especially up close.

CrazyAirborne Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 thats awesome someone mentioned subaru WRB. My other love is my subbie, and Ive been contemplating what color to paint my Z when the time comes. I think WRB would look awesome on the whole car. sorry for thread jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBZ Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Blue and black go well together. I really like the blue that came on early 350z's. Are you painting your engine the same color as the engine compartment? If not I'd paint the engine black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domenic Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I agree with MIKEBZ Blue and Black are the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
