Any pics of Black engine bay in red FC?
 

someone must have done this .

IMO black engine bays look good on any color car. All engine bays should be black from the factory. With special brake/PS fluid resistant paint.

i will post up pics of my engine bay tonight.

I did a quick spray job on mine before I dropped in the turbo motor.

Here's a few pics. Obviously I didn't remove everything, because I'm a lazy asshole, but it may give you a decent idea...no pics with the hood on, or fenders or anything... might be useless but hey, I did it, and I can give you pics.

Heres Mine...

nice, i like the looks of that alot. That IC looks huge.

my car is currently sanded down for brown paint, but i have painted the bay black. it gives you flexibility to change colors any time, plus i did mine easily with a freakin brush with a bunch of stuff still installed and it looks great. its not show quality by any means but this definitely isnt a show car. heres a picture:

Personally I prefer engine bays to be matched, one, because having a black engine bay makes your car look like a repaint, and two, because it makes it easier to find things you drop in there... plus it looks prettier (assuming you have a cool paint color to begin with). (for reasons including, that you can see more of what's in your bay, if you're trying to show off)

Here is mine.... I have moved the coils and some other stuff so it looks much beter.
I dont have the small intercooler anymore as well i have a gt42 instead of that 57 trim, no recent pics of the intercooler complete with ducting and Gt42 on though...its sex though :)

And personally i much prefer this look because of the contrast it gives, especially with black irons and housings/manifolds to match the car

I used a PPG Epoxy Primer, and put it on very heavy.... very very durable, almost like a rino lining..... i can drop wrenches and rachets and it doesnt scratch at all

^^ that engine bay makes my pants tight.

HAHAHAHAHA :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

Thanks ....... that convinces me to go black for the bay

i'm getting the car repainted stock blaze red and the bay will be cleaned out and primed for a gloss black . The pictures helped me decide to keep the lip under the hood red . My engine rebuild by R.P.M will be finished in red/silver paint and some coloured lines and samco coolant hoses (red) should make it jump out of the bay .

keep the pictures coming if anyone else has done it .... mine won't be posted till spring

SAME WITH VAC LINES!!!!!

Vac lines? You mean they should be black? I got mine in silver. :) Silver on black engine bay = sex.

actually the best color to paint an engine bay is white. you can see everything including leaks. looks wise though i say everything should be the same color.

"best" is objective. :)
