i am gettin a swap in a few weeks!. can i just sparay the engine bay black??? or what. the car is primed!

 

u can do what ever your little heart desires
paint it to match the car and take as much **** out so u dont have overspray and tape is your best friend

 

I painted mine with black BBQ paint. It worked really well, dried mad fast, and holds up like a champ. Clean the engine bay down with like wd40 or some kind of cleaner. I just used wd.....Then go to town with the paint. BLack does look tight though. Yea. Take as much out as you can...And mask stuff so it looks good.

 

thanxs you alot 4 ur help!!

 

What I did was mask all the areas that you dont want to get painted. Then I clean the surface as best as you can with a degreaser or cleaner of some sort. I decided use a flat black primer, since I primer essential sticks to any surface no problem. Spray it with the primer, and bam...done. Looks awesome IMO, alot better than teal. Had it on the car now for 3 years, no problems. Good luck

 

my boy told u have to prep it ? like a lil sanding. i just just dont want the red to show, as long as the top is black

 

Well I didnt have to prep nothing. I just cleaned it the sprayed away. I could understand prepping it to spray a regular type paint, say high temp paint, gloss black, or even the color of your car paint etc etc. But this was a flat black primer. Bitch sticks great. I am not autobody guru, but this has held up in my engine bay for 3 years now without any sign of chipping anything of the sort. The key is just to clean it well. I even did this while the engine was in the car! I imagine it would be quite simple without the engine in. Either way, you could prep it. I was just to lazy. But like I said, its last for over three years, in extreme hot, cold, humid, dry temps.

 

what CANT be painted?
