Fixed up the engine

[billytheman1188]

Ok well everyone remembers how i went crazy with the blue paint under my hood.

Well a few days ago i took the paint off the top of the battery,prop rod, and one other thing(i just cant think of the name of it, lmao)

I also removed the emblems on the back of the car(olds sign,alero letters and oldsmobile). it looks good. i will post up pics after i repaint the prop rod and the other part, lmao. i will probably do that tomorrow. I will post the before and after pics too:coolio: DONT GET TOO EXCITED PEOPLE!!!;)

[billytheman1188]

lmao, no it doesnt look as bad as it did before, i made some finishing touches on the blue tubing, and removed the paint from the places i said above. I am going to finish the engine up later, i have a doctors app at 3, later tonight i might have pics. this time you guys will be able to see how the engine actually matches, last time i took pics the sun was shining on it so it made it look like some of the engine was dark blue and some was light, but its all dark blue:lol:

[billytheman1188]

ok well its a month later and i still didnt post pics, but now im thinking about changing the color under the hood.

So i was thinking silver or black????

anybody else have any opinions on what to paint it??

[ptrudel]

speaking from experience, go with one theme and stick with it...closer to stock looks better

[cavaliers60]

I'd say go hot pink and really give everyone a scare. :lol: :lol: :lol: j/k man.... ummmm If you are thinking silver, I'd just leave it stock...

What's wrong w/hot pink? :cry: But i think i'm the only person on here w/the pink thing going for my car.

a month and no pictures, the peanut gallery is beginning to wonder if you did anything

haha, yes i did change some stuff around(aka take paint off the battery, the rings up near where a strut bar would go, lol i dont know the name for that, and i took the bluee of the prop rod)

Right now i have blue on the caps, on the 3400SFI, and then i have the blue sparkplug wires and CAI.

now if i change the color to black, i will just paint over all the stuff OR remove the paint...but that takes longer.

If i do a diff color, i will paint over the caps and 3400SFI, and i will paint the sparkplug wires and the rubber parts on the CAI the same color.


Now should i go with a diff color to match up to my car, or should i just go with black????

[p1mptress]

i think black will do. I don't think any other color would go with maroon

[billytheman1188]

i think black will do. I don't think any other color would go with maroon

yea i was leaning towards black. The dark color will be a nice blend with the maroon.

Hot pink woudn't look good on his car.... but it looks really good on your car. :D

[Gr1m]

you have a rainbow under your hood....does that make you gay? :)

[SkullFractured]

i think you should go with a nice ford blue to offset that maroon.

and pimpette, i like both hot AND pink. but cant see that on a car.

[billytheman1188]

well yes, i have put off fixing the engine, but i finally started doing it.

Friday i took off all the blue (except for the blue on the "3400 sfi". but i painted the caps black, im going to paint the 3400 sfi black too, just gotta get a small paint brush.

Today im going to try and paint my front two calipers black.

So im finally doing it, haha:lol:

Now the only blue i will have is the sparkplug wires and the CAI

[billytheman1188]

alright, just painted the 3400 sfi and the 2 front calipers. Tomorrow i will do the 2 back ones, then if i remember i will post up pics:lol:

Is the paint gonna stay on the spark plug wires? I would think it would crack and peel off when they were bent or moved around.

yea i know, i didnt do the wires or cai, my step dad said "well i dont think the paint would stay on the wires too, because if they get moved the paint will crack". so i just left the cai and wires as blue, a little blue doesnt hurt:rolleyes2: I really need to remember to get outside and take pics. im taking too long. i always do this though:lol:

[Redog]

Wire loom,




they make it in blue :lol:
