Shaun Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'd give my left nut to have a nice freshly painted white engine bay. Mine engine bay paint has gone all chalky.

TurboX Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 How the hell did you make that It certainly was not easy or cheap! Visit My Website to see how i made it. Hey that white bay up a bit - made a heap of difference painting the fuse box etc white - Great Job! The big problem is the more you do, the more you HAVE to do, cause the poor looking bits stand out more! - Just ask Dahtone Racing! Most awsome engine bay EVER and someone picked to I/C holes...

AntsRB25 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'd give my left nut to have a nice freshly painted white engine bay. Mine engine bay paint has gone all chalky. Ha ha yea had to do clutch, cam belt and a few other things so decided to rip the whole lot out and do it properly. I actually thought it was pretty clean till we got the motor out...

Shaun Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 So did you remove everything from the engine bay including the brake booster and brake lines, then just cover up the steering rack etc during painting. Also, did you just sand back the original paint for preparation. Im looking at doing this next year. Shaun.

Thanks mate, There's a lot of polishing there; once you polish one thing, you've gotta polish the next! Ill definately pull my engine out again next year and paint the engine bay. I like yours because you cant really see all the wires and lines running everywhere. Thats what im going to concentrate on most; hiding alot of the wires. Shaun.
