Thanks guys! I was leaning towards the Chevrolet red, at first, that looks similar to this color. Ryan noticed it had a good bit of purple in it. You've probably seen the color on the new Tahoe. Anyways, Ryan pointed me towards this color. This color is on Chargers, Ram p/u, crossfire, as well as other chrysler vehicles.

Most people would think it was out of a ppg catalog. Did you?

Stick welder? You were using my $2k tig welder. Turned out pretty nice. The engine bay looks much cleaner.

That bay is gorgeous

You can imagine how much faster it would have gone with a wire-feed.

Personally, would have kept it white, but your work is very good https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

love the engine bay...the shaving and sanding of the seam sealer looks killer https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

I wasn't comfortable messing with it and the brake lines like some people do with their tucks. Sanding the factory seam sealer was an afterthought once I got started on the bay at Automations. I wasn't really sure how it would turn out. Thanks for the comments. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

That was the original plan and without a shaved bay. But, I told myself if I was to spend the money, the paint better stand out. And, if I was paint it, I might was well shave the bay. It was a pretty enormous task for someone whose never welded or had to do body work.
