...decided to do some spray painting under the bonnet...

...and though it looks mildly orange (due to iPhone camera), it's a similar red to the OMP strutbrace I'll be fitting soon :)

Got a decent finish with a couple of coats of primer and paint, just don't get me started on those damn Fiat jubilee clips :rolleyes:
 
Haha, yeah went for red as I'm getting almost everything else in red...strutbrace, GSR, etc, it's not subtle, but I like it ;) Was something I wanted to do at some point, but as I say, got bored waiting for suspension, had the paint sitting there and thought what the hell :)

May do the hoses with one of those eBay sets, but think I'll wait till after the induction's on and the airbox is off then see what I can do after.
 
Hope its high temp paint :eek: you gonna do the hoses too I think PNL did his but in blue :slayer:

I did do the hose covers but I wont bore you with another pic ..unless you want it that is ;).. anyway with regards to the engine cover i shot mine away in the end ..would rather look at an interesting engine than a cover over it..:D its in my garage if some one need one ..(y)
 
This is the kinda of thing I like to see :D nice job!

I hope to see more of this and less technical problems here on the forum! even though i seem to be contributing to a lot of them lately:D (y)

Cheers, I reckon I may well contribute to the technical problems in this section of the forums in the coming weeks when it comes to fitting some major components to RGZ. Though saying that, I can't wait to get stuck in :D
 
nice.. have you seen mine yet? ;)

Is it still the same as it was a few months back with the silver and red detailing? Was tempted to do something like that, but I'm too impatient and would've probably mucked it up :p Still though, the airbox'll be going when I get the induction on. May well do something with the leads and piping as well, but at the moment for the money I spent, I'm fairly happy with it :)

Doesn't need to be high temp paint - we're only talking 60-70 degrees perhaps.

That's what I was thinking, though the paint I've used does have a decent heat tolerance rating.
