Default A rew pics of my ghetto engine bay paint job...

Well this is what I have so far of my project SOHC turbo build up, just used Automotive touch-up spray paint and Discount Auto Parts clear coat, not that bad for a 17 year old, doing things little by little and working hard to pay for this stuff. I will update in about a week when the motor comes back from the machine shop.

My current set-up for the break-in then turbo in about a month

CP pistons
Eagle Rods
Darton Sleeves
Stock crank
Fully port and polished head
Skunk2 Valves, springs, retainers
Skunk2 Pro-cam
Skunk2 Pro- IM
Hondata IM Gasket
Blox TB
RC 1000cc Injectors
Eagle Fuel Rail
B&M FPR
Walbro 255 FP
Hondata s300

with that kind of outlook and motivation, you'll do fine bro.
Just remember these things take time, but you'll appreciate it that much
more once its finished. GL

process, just pressure washed it, dryed it, sanded the parts that were really bad (like scratches, dirt that was really stuck), and painted it, then through on some clear coat

on an appearance/cosmetic related note- awesome job with the tuck and engine bay touch up
from a motor perspective watch out for those CP pistons, they have a tendency with turbo builds of killing your motor.
for N/A they are good but boost and say bye bye
