nice.... same colour as the exterior?
yes :)
mate very impressive good work!
man you work fast!
did you tape everything in the engine bay up? all those wires and that or just painted them?
:cool: most of them were covered, the few that werent im just ganna replace the black linning around it.
picking up the new turbo tonight and ganna blacken a few parts..... then the real fun begins :cool:
its easy to pull the wiring back into the interior. A few clips and a the grommit and then its free to pull back into the cabin while you paint it. THen you just mask that hole from the inside and you're set to paint without worrying about wiring.
Washer bottle is only three bolts. Don't know why you didn't remove it. Its easy to do and the result would be much better.
the wiring into the interior didnt interfere and i have to pull the whole thing out later anyway. but as i said it didnt interfere, thats the old harness, new harness is sitting in the shed so i didnt car if that turned orange, and the washer bottle well it had other wierd shit going on.
also kinda stretched for time as my dad who did the spray left 5am this morning and i cant spray like he can :D
if i didnt get it done last night it wouldnt have got done for another week. still im happy as it is now.
i wouldn't be concerned about the paint on the washer bottle or the loom. I'd be more converned about the quality of paint work that's behind the washer bottle and those looms.
Did paint even get there?? or are there gonna be silver bilts left where the paint didn't get???
I would have waited a week and done a better prep job to get a better end result.
but thats just me.
What was up with the washer bottle??
yes there is paint behind it, there is paint behind all of it. and i wouldnt wait a week when my tuner is in town from the 16th till the 23rd, need it tuned in that time :D plus cant drive my sisters car around for ever. u will get a better idea on the paint when all the masking shit is off
Yeah i know i've sprayed stuff before.
Did you spray the BMC and the strut tops or did you mask them up??
And what was up with your washer bottle?
just the wired and shit, i couldnt get them off without breaking all the tags so i just stopped before i did. sprayed the strut tops, but its getting new suspension soonand the brake master cylinder will still be black... hopefully lolQuote:
