- Tue Jun 23, 2015 3:18 pm #354341 Good attention to painting all the small bits
I would have disassembled the intake/fuel rail/injectors/fpr/sensors or at least masked those parts off so it would look like everything wasn't sprayed at once in a hurry.

In that clean bright yellow bay, the intake will be the last thing I look at

Thanks for the 'good attention to painting' comment. Fully understand what you said about spraying all at once, but never really made an issue of it because its flat black. maybe when the second coat goes on it will look a little better... lets see

In that clean bright yellow bay, the intake will be the last thing I look at

exactly why i wanted to go with flat colors, to enhance the bay color even more

stock exhaust manifold and pulley thingy

- Thu Jun 25, 2015 8:22 am #354362 here is when my day started to take a dip


while pulling off some parts from the engine, it was realized that the 3 holes for the engine mount bracket had threading issues, some of the bolts where even lean when they finally came out. may have been from the impact, remeber it was taken from a car that was involved in an accident.

- Thu Jun 25, 2015 8:31 am #354364 i went to buy more black paint to spray the engine bolt on's and never realised i got the black with the gloss. so i said 'f' it, let me just use it as the base coat so i will use less flat black when i get to buy more the following day

- Thu Jun 25, 2015 8:38 am #354365 finally some good news.

went to buy more blue spray to re coat the hardlines in the bay and it seem like the bottle i had before was old or something.. i say this because both new bottles i bought (same brand and type) is actually brighter than the first


pic below is after taping out and using what was left in the first bottle. this is before i made the discovery about the new ones being brighter

before

- Thu Jun 25, 2015 8:40 am #354366 this is when i made the beautiful discovery that it is brighter

this is exactly what i was looking for at first

- Thu Jun 25, 2015 8:42 am #354367 was just messing
