May 17, 201214 yr Author comment_604424 The engine is out. Starting to get the engine bay ready for a respray. Any tips for pre paint prep? Report
May 17, 201214 yr comment_604437 I slouched on prep for my engine bay... now have to do it all again :( If the car is going to be a shower take your time and clean up any loose stuff. Treat it like you would the outside of the car. A few people on here have done amazing work smoothing out strut towers and the like with that metal putty stuff (??) Another thing we did with mine was to use a thick filler primer to smooth out any small imperfections (which worked great, I just didn't spend the time sanding back any runs in it). Report

Nah it's not really, it's basically just for me and my mates haha. But like if it's looking nice i'd pop the hood. Maybe at Winterfest. Yeah that seems like a good idea. If it's not too much effort i might try a bit of that... good suggestion cheers mate. For those playing at home. The engine bay is going to go satin black... Unless anyone has a better suggestion with picture proof ;) You mean paint runs? I hope to attack they bay next week. Report
May 17, 201214 yr comment_604535 Black is a good idea. Anything bright will make other not so good parts stand out. Report
May 17, 201214 yr Author comment_604536 Black is a good idea. Anything bright will make other not so good parts stand out. Yeah that's what i was thinking. I'll probably go a blueish block to match the body colour and polished head and rocker cover. Any photos of suggestions for engine colours, feel free to post :) Report
