I didn't know what to do with my engine bay. I looked around and ran into a few builds with battleship paint in there bays and i loved it. My outcome was great im so satisfied.
Heres some pictures..












I took these pictures on a sunny day so they dont do the paint job justice, but it looks soooo nice.


Many pictures for you DIY's

 

What color is the rest of the car?

 

That just looks like primer to me.

 

Outcome looks half-assed.

You should've taken out some bolts and grommets and pulled the stuff off the firewall.

Paint looks pretty smooth though.

+1

 

Doesn't look like battleship gray to me.

 

Yeah im replacing struts completely and new gourmets, I like it. If you dont ohh well. to all there own right.

 

I would have prepped the bay a little better.....

 

i like it, looks good

 

please tell me the bay is gonna match the rest of the car.

 

nice job painting over everything.

 

 

spray paint?

 

yeah Battleship Grey , To me it looks better in person then in the picture. I like the out come, [freak] what everyone else says, its for me not you. once i remove all the tape, foil, new stuts and new Honda grommets and hardware and wire tuck it should look nice with the motor in putting in.

 

my BSG e-bay on my eg/eh,

after paint


and motor installed



looks ok if done right and if your E-bay is rough to begin with, my car goes for paint next month , complete color change including E-bay and interior (say bye bye rattle can paint)

 

Painting over everything!!!!

Half ***.

 

Do you work in shawnee?

 

ive always half assed my bays... they always get dirty from driving and i never popped my hood for anyone it was just a little extra something for me. As long as you like it i understand.... if your not showin the car.

Im not a fan of the color combo but it prob looks good in person

 

alil more time and elbow grease it woulda been pimp but looks good to me...looks better with the motor in

 

Meh.

 

Kudos for you a lot of people here on H-T can't even pull their own motor out.

Half *** NO ... sorry if you have the impression that spraying over certain things to help hide them better in the bay is 1/2 assing .. In my opinion the fact that i chose to sand down items to prep them for paint INSTEAD of simply taping them off or replacing them is not exactly easier in any aspect. I spent ALOT of time taking my beat up rusted out white engine bay (because the previous owner was a idiot) and making it look presentable .. This is not a show car so i could care less if it has a show quality bay .. but also on the same note .. my half assed E-bay looks 100 times better then most peoples oem painted dirsty *** engine bays lol

Cheers
