Wait, what? What kind of paint do you have that doesn't bake off with the heat?

 

its the same exact paint thats on every car out there, i did3 coats of base color then 2 coats of clear. once its cured its not gona breakdown and melt, plus its plastic and a sprayed down anadhesion premoter soit wont come off.

 

Thedfo, once I get my car back from the dealer tomorrow I will show you another painted engine cover. Hopefully it wull give you some design ideas and then you to can go ahead and paint yours. Real simple - clean good, primer, paint, clear coat.

EDIT: Here ya go.

 

that looks good RJB_M6. i plan on painting a few other pieces under the hood when i get some time. im actually going to bedoing some custom paintwork to my car so im going to tie it all in with under the hood as well. oh and rjb_m6 do you have a video on youtube of your car? your engine bay looks familiar to one i saw on there.

 

No I don't. There are a lot of 6's with the same paint scheme I have (hence how I came up with mine hehe)

 

lol well i just figured id ask lol.

 

heh yupp.

 

So, just any kind of paint? Well, not wood paint obviously, but do I need to go to an auto store and get the expensive car paint?

 

just one question, if you apply a degreaser inthe engine bay, will this remove the rustproofing (yellow stuff got it done at the dealer)???

 

This was my favorite part of the article....

"If you have compressed air available, this is the best way to remove old leaves, dead cats, and such. "

I dont know if you all found it funny, but why???
