That engine bay turned out VERY good man. Can't wait to see more updates on this.

Shit, That Color is fucking amazing Nick, Good choice, and the BOV looks fucking dope.

Just out of Curiousity, why didn't you just spray the outter area of the bay as well (rad. support/fender supports), so when you put the body parts back on, there won't be like a copper, slim area of black, and then the body parts?

SCREECHO

probably because all the areas not painted/ kept black are going to be hidden over the panels. the front was probably not painted because it would be showing from the front.
slim slim maybe, but those areas are only going to be cleaned meticulously with a pressure washer or if the panels are removed. leaving it dark can hide them a little more.
But I would like to hear his side as well.

I honestly wanted the front end to be black. plus the paint i used on the front is a more durable type than the paint used in the bay. pretty much all of the areas of black will be covered up.
