next time try using krinkle paint. You would have to stick it in the oven tho after u spray it to get a tighter bond.

good job, _but_ my opinion, id only do one accent color in your engine bay, and stick with it (i see gold AND black already, how you threw purple in the mix i dunno).

actually i like the royal purple color,...esp if he can match the scratched up intake pipes with it, and if possible shine up that (rusty?) manifold. and a little enginebay cleanup wouldn't hurt too.

i looked for gold couldn't find the gold i wanted. and the reason i went with purple is cuz i want a different color engine bay. everyone goes with the one color scheme and i have nothing against it. I just want to have that engine bay that is like BAM. purple here and there. gold here and there. different color vinyls on the cooling plate. and intake piping idk what to do with that yet. its really f'd up. and im thinking of getting the colr side of the turbo painted. not sure yet either. and manifold i'm painting black.

oh and working on my car is like xes(backwards). makes me happy to the extreme haha. and no guys. no prozac or "medication". and fender lining with zip ties = ghetoo but it works for now. thanks for all the input guys.
