Yes, i'm starting to paint my engine bay, and I already painted my calipers, and most of my interior. It has begun!

Painting things with high temp enamel or ceramic coating is not really ricing, per say... Whats with the light blue parts though?

I'm glad to see you at least picked a darker colour to paint everything, it's not yellow... The blue theme is sort of fitting, seeing as how it's a Ford and all. :uhoh:

plug wires, and coil are light blue, so are my calipers, its not as light as it looks in the pic. I might post a pic of the whole thing and ask for sugestions

OH CRAP, that reminds me, through a long twist of fate, I no longer have a cobra intake, but I didnt get a replacement stock intake for FREE!....so yah....lets not gothere :(

It looks pretty good. Now if you think it makes you any faster, then we have the first symptom of the "ricer disease". Exercise extreme caution! Your not having any uncontrollable urges to look lovingly at 6" chrome mufflers are you?

eeh, it's not bad at all. like TatII said, nothing wrong with sprucing up your engine bay. Just make sure you dont have like streaks of blue or dripping colors or anything.

nope, its clean, i'm still working on it to make it look good, and touch it up etc...pain in the ass might I add

No, it didnt make me go faster...

the 100oct gas I bough tonight seemed to help some, but the blue didnt. :p

I painted my valve cover blue (because there was grease on it that wouldnt come off so we got the bright idea to just paint it and screw scrubbing. yes i AM a lazy bastard) and that sucker mustave added 10-12 HP straight up. Boy howdy, I painted my valve cover and was off like a rocket.
...We looked into it and I think it makes me faster because of reverse polar matrix displacement, (I don't know what it means but it sounds so cool!) either that or somehow the fumes from the spray paint got up in with the fuel lines and it acted as a kind of "primative NOS" and caused a bigger explosion with my deisel fuel, which I also added to go faster. See it's like this: if a giant semi pulling all that stuff can go 70 (give or take) with deisel, then I bet I could get way up there in the 200s cuz I weigh SO much less!
...Anyways, now I can hit those speeds of up to like 80 if I really try. Never do though cuz I like to keep my lead heavy foot off the gas (kinda of a sleeper thing going. :D) until I get up to one of those... uh, Metros (I think their called? Dunno who makes them though.) cuz their always revving their engines at me and stuff and when I race them it's usually pretty good running. I win some I lose some but it always is fun.

I may hafta trade my car in and pay another 2K or so and get me one of those. They're kinda fast!
