Is it possible to paint the engine bay with ok quality w/ out removing the engine??????????????????????????????

 

yeah but it wont look as good

 

Yes, unbolt everything off the firewall, and the strut towers and misc. other parts(radiator clips...) put it on top of your motor(vlave cover area) and then mask that all off at once, I do it all the time, Comes out very nice, of course pull the motor for best, but def. much easier.

 

here is a pic of friends (hybridcivicex) engine bay painted with motor in car and turned out great.

 

thanx

&lt; Wants some more info on this...

 

I did mine with the motor in the car. Let me know if you need any help. Took me 3 hours total.

 

^ that came out nice

 

The Am7 army green Civic was painted with the motor in, my car will be done the same way. It just depends on the person doing the work. Alot of patience is needed to get everything.

it will look perfectly fine. Just tape up everything and remove as much as possible off of the walls. Im doing mine here REAL soon so I'll post pics when it gets finished.
