Okay so I'm getting my car painted electron blue this week(B-95P is the color code I think?) and it's a color change from red.
The shop won't yank my engine out for the paint, and hving a red engine bay would kill my car.

So what my question is, is how can I paint the engine bay myself WITHOUT removing anythin from my bay?
I heard use degreaser and clean it good, let it dry, tape off everything (bags, tin foil, and masking tape) ten prime and get to work.
And no, I don't trust myself enough to pull my engine out, I like how it's running now.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated

I hve a del sol with a b18 in it if that make any difference.

No no no... Remove engine... U could paint the engine bay but u are very likely to miss spots... My big thing for me is u will never clean it like how I would like it... Where u live at?? I can do all ur work... If u are in socal

That's what I'm afraid of. And unfortunately I'm in the other sunny state Florida, how much would u charge tho just to pull the engine and paint the bay? So I can have a price to go off of. Thanks

i would say its kinda standard for someone with a shop to charge 500 just for motor swap, i would do that personally, then u sand it down or take it to the shop to get painted, or work out a deal 250 to remove and 250 to install when ur ready, is this ur daily?

Ya idk how to pull a motor tho and I'm not lookin to pay someone 500 to do it for me.
Ya it's my daily but I can get around without it for a few days, thanks for ur input man I appreciate it

in reality its not to hard if ur mechanically incline u only really need basic tools other than a hoist, if not.... then i would say just leave ur bay how it is
