Default Repainted Engine Bay Pics!

Finally done with repainting the engine bay and surprisingly enough the Dupli-Color rattle cans from Pep Boys matched the paint perfectly! They have a little book with OEM colors and the matching Dupli-Color can. I couldn't justify spending $75-100 on paint that will never be seen 99% of the time and that I would screw up anyways.

I have some runs in the paint due to the crappy spray pattern so it looks like I'm going to wet sand it with 1200-3000 grit and polishing it with some compound.

Good job man! I'm going to do the same when I pull the motor, but will probably paint the bay black.

I hope you remember where all of that crap in those boxes go back on the car

nice nice! i'd of prefered having colors not match up EXACTLY from the bay to the outside panels instead of being the exact same. gives it a more old school feel to me than having it all body colored the same
