Spraying my engine bay,,, LIVE!!!

Since all the topics of spraying have been popping up, heres a real treat for everyone. Im currently smack dead in the middle of spraying my engine bay of my FD. Il post pics as i move from step to step.

Strip down the bay of everything

Then strip it down some more and degrease the living hell out of it, and repeat 5 more times (not joking)

Mask off everything


And right now im going to lay some primer!

One question, why didnt you take the engine out?? I just dont see how you can get full coverage with it in there. Good to see you have everything else out like I did though.
