Default so im painting my engine bay help me choose

i really wanna do it the color of my car which is a factory ford color maroon i dont know the exact name of color. but where would i be able to get this color in a can. i think a black engine bay would look stupid without your car being black anyone got pics?

If it's factory paint you should be able to google and find the color. Black can go with alot of colors but i agree with you, i dont thing black would look good with your paint.

Automotive paint distributors should be able to mix up some for you. Get the paint code and and go talk to them.

I Paid 13.00 for the can that I Painted the nose with. This is also a great way to sample a color change concepts.
