i wanna know how in the [freak] you plan on painting the bay with the engine in considering there is so many things that will need taping off and not only that so many places deeper in the bay you're going to miss.

you're better off taking the 5 or more hours it'll take to drop the engine and tape off everything and do it right the first time instead of half assing it and having to have it redone in the future.

paitence and having it done right the FIRST time will make you a lot happier in the future.

if you're looking for a color you don't want to "upkeep" well, go with a dark blue. or a burgandy. black shows too much, and bring colors show things even worse.

and if you're too lazy to keep up you're car you SHOULDN'T drop the money into fresh paint when it's going to wear and fade due to lack of waxing, buffing and washing on a consistant basis.


sorry for the long post! good luck.

All of those are very good color choices for practical purposes and will look great on an eg.

My vote goes to the Pilot green color. It's different.

Another note: if you are going to go red, go with the BMW Imola red. Milano red is far overdone.

Milano Red. I repainted my MR hatch black because I was dead set on getting rid of the red, and now I kind of want it back lol. It's true, black is a hard color to maintain.
