Engine bay

[$100T2]

Well, I'm in the midst of kinda doing the same thing. But, I'm doing a bit more aggressive stuff than you: I'm taking all the paint off with a wire wheel and redoing every piece of metal in there.

The bulk of my engine bay will be semi-gloss black, and there will be assorted pieces that will be taken down to bare metal and painted with a couple coats of clear, provided the metal isn't pitted and nasty.

Of course, my engine bay is in a LOT worse condition than yours.

So your repainting the engine bay black? and fixing up all the brackets. I thought about that but I kinda want to keep it the factory color. I hope this weather breaks here so I can go work on it some more.

Yep, semi-gloss or satin black. With the car eventually being painted blue, it should set off very nicely... That way, the engine will really stand out.
