paint help

[saintvice]

thinking of painting my car.. was wondering.. if i was to totally change the colour from its orignal colour say silver to deep blue.. the engine area... how easy or hard will it be for them to paint it? would they have to take the engine out?

and which is the best type of paint to use.. not brand but type..

yes, taking the engine out is usually the best way lol


getting the engine painted as well as the door jams will probably set you back at least 1.5g's at a reputable shop

I've decided I'm just going to have the entire car repainted when/if I do the H22 swap just to get all things done at once

as for the type of paint, I'm not sure the exact name, but usually the best paint is urethane I believe or contains urethane, so it doesn't crack when it is flexed

I'm sure someone with lots of experience will chime in

Du-Pont... All the way... and painting your engine bay can be done just expect to do alot of work or pay alot of money. I run a shop and doing it the right way ain't cheap...
