k i would like this question answered so i can organize all my money i need for everything. When i pull out the 2.3 in the spring i want to get my engine bay painted black. Where would be the best place to go and approx. how much $$ would it cost?

thanks.

If your pulling out the motor yourself, you should pressure wash the engine bay while its out and paint it yourself. Shouldn't be all that hard. Unless you are talking about filling all the lil holes and stuff.

ya i am doing it myself........right now i see no holes, but i am new to all painting related things.......what kind of paint should i use....like a certain type of spray paint or what? lol

He was talking about the holes in the bay. There is about 68 million of them to be exact. No dont use spraypaint. Do you have a good compressor for air tools or something? If so, get a spray gun and spray it yourself with matching paint. OR have it towed to a shop and have them spray it for you.

i'll prob get a shop to paint it ...cuz i am no good with paint, anyone know how much they may charge?

88BlueGT

Depends where you go, every shop will charge different. I have gone places to get a rear bumper and hood painted, some guys wanted 2K and some wanted $400. I know someone who would do it for a hundred or two at max. Its really no work for them if its all prepped, etc. If you tape everything off they just spray and than thats it. No blending, etc.

painting isnt that hard, i started doing small projects and you have to understand it takes time and several coats or you will get nasty runs.
