Well today we finally found some time to start and FINISH the painting of the engine bay.. in my opinion it turned out GREAT! let me know what you guys think.. i tried to take the best pics i could but pictures simply dont do any justice on how SEXY the bay now looks
**color: custom metallic eggplant shade (with alotta pearl)
ENJOY
____________________________________________
took off the bumper, fenders, hood and wheel well covers
took out the AC lines (not sure if i want to put it back in.. what do you guys think? it looks so clean with out that mess :?
passenger side- STRiPPED & NAKED!!
now to move onto the drivers side
fuse box and harness pulled (took a while to figure out how to pull the fusebox and harness apart and split them)
what a mess
drivers side: STRIPPED & NAKED
DONE!.. now time for that prep work
Scuffing up the paint using simple green
now time for some sanding using 500 grit
engine bay needs some lotion
final prep step to clean everything off using wax and grease remover
taping sucked as you can see
applying some adhesive promoter (make the paint stick better and prevent it from chipping easily over time)
heres the CUSTOM color i decided to go with
first base coat
2nd stage
GLOSSY COAT NEXT
DONE!
