It is becoming increasingly difficult to make the engine bay spotless. Even if I do somehow get rid of all the gunk the engine bay is still not the same color as the body - its a yellowish white. Since, even when cleaned, the engine bay is not a consistent color, I am debating the choice of painting it black. That will hide all the imperfections and make my life much easier. I'm not trying to win any shows but I would like everything to be tidy before I put the new motor in. Here are some pictures:






Thanks.

 

stitch weld the seams and then paint it aluminum

 

I dont know if I would paint it black but I think you should paint it some color. I am a stickler for clean engines bays.

paint it with black wrinkle paint

 

are you going to repaint the whole car or just the engine bay ? if your gonna paint the car a different color later paint the engine bay that color before u put the motor back in . if not then just repaint it the stock white color

 

just repaint the whole car

do you got money for me?

 

Repaint the engine bay...it will be easier to keep up on the cleaning with a clean slate.

 

I love the Z. Paint it, IMO i think it will look better, it will look even better with that V6 Twin turbo. It is twin turbo right?

 

Its an engine bay dude. It will get dirty.

I suggest leaving it stock unless you find it hard living life with a dirty engine compartment...

yes

 

you definetly gotta paint it, black would look cool.

 

Black.

 

are u still gonna flat black ur whole car? that would look tight y0.

 

A lot of hot rodders and classics paint their cars black. It looks good when you have SS braided lines and polished/chrome parts in your engine bay. Painting your engine bay black makes everything else stand out.

If you're worried about keeping it dirty, paint it black. It would probably lower your resale value however.

 

dip the WHOLE thing in CHROME!! JP JP ::joke:: ( for some people who dont read everything then start gettin all pissed over a joke...u know)

 

paint it black when the engine is out of the ride!

 

it's yellow-white because it seems as though you jack-of* in your engine bay. which is pretty sick when you think about. And this PZ Out with vengence will return it doesn't look that fast i could probly beat it with my supercharge Plymonth Duster. And i have seen you drive and you can't. And i though you could drive stick so it must be a auto which then makes you gay for tryin to mod a auto.

Why did you post this? For one, you can't speak English, and two, it is nowhere near relevant to the guy's question.

Get on before you get spit on.

Are you talking about yourself? My car is definetly stick whereas yours is defenitly an auto. Your argument has no validity therefore we must conclude that you are indeed a homosexual craving hot, steamy, gorilla sex...
