What colour engine bay.
« on: 25 June 2012, 21:02 »
Got my engine stripped out ready for my 20v lump going in.

Chassis legs and around strut tops need painted. Despite being smothered in wax... Bulkhead too, keeping bulkhead black but unsure on the rest.

Black or stay colour coded??? Keep changing my mind  :rolleyes:

Depends what your engine will look like and what's staying in the bay? If your going for show look, super clean and chrome, then I would do candy colour, silver or something. If your keeping it OEM then black all the way!
