No offense, but looking at your posts, one would think this place needs spellcheck.

Re: question about painting

I would say blue, don't know if its too late, but if thats going to be the color of the car, and going by your pic in your sig, blue engine bay would work. You still have a bunch of black stuff everywhere to throw the blue off.

Re: question about painting

I guess it looks ok. I kinda like when an engine bay is the same color as the car.

Are you planning to get the car painted for real? Or are you just going to leave it spray bombed?
