if you were going to paint it paint it the stock color of the car. minor parts not many. wire cover, fuse box cover. i actually found a paint similar to my magnesium metallic. i was so shocked it was at advanced auto parts

Rep Power: 0 I totally agree. Im so sick and tired of this whole "rice" thing. I agree that some things look terrible (i.e. chrome taillights, etc.), but who gives a damn! If its not your car then drop it, its NOT YOUR CAR! The owner of the vehicle can do whatever the hell he/she wants to do as long as they like it, its their opinion. If you dont think something looks good then dont do it to your car. Its that simple...theres no need to totally trash someone else's ride.
I say go for it, paint the engine bay. (I like the idea of a gunmetal by the way

Rep Power: 336 thanx for paying attention to the thread. i asked what color. not IF i should do it. anyway, it won't be rice. im sure some of you would do it too after you see what i did. anyway. its either gonna be gunmetal or silver. SSM is TOO expensive to get. id rather pay 5 bucks at advanced auto parts for a can of arctic silver. ahahaha.

Rep Power: 336 well the paint is supposed to help keep it clean. yea the blue looks nice with the intake but its too bright for me. but thanx for the example. thats what i plan to do and some more.
familycar- clearcoat goes on after paint. or if i really want i can get that paint that can take heat up to 500 degrees. no hard feelings.
