Painting under the hood?
so im starting to do random fixes and mods. basically what i can afford or realistically do at this point. something i have wanted to do was make my engine bay colorful while at the same time leaving options for future endeavors. here is a pic of my test subject for the future paint jobs, not that the next thing im painting is the fan shroud. and my after market intake i put in the 17th and will some what match.
also i painted some rusty metal on the car. wiper arms and that metal that is on the outside of the door below the window.
