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 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.

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

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!!!!!

micah 02-08-07 11:38 AM

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.

micah 02-08-07 11:58 AM

"best" is objective. :)
