Engine bay pics request

[stevie_b]

I'm thinking of doing a yellow or matt black rocker cover on mine...haven't decided yet

I think either of those would go quite well with that bay. Would you paint the inlet manifold too, so no bare metal on show?

Don't think it will be much help in coming up with your colour scheme robi but I'll psot a pic of my bay...



There is a slight amount of 'Samco blue' colour visible there though!

no cover

I don't know who's car this is (I hope he doesn't mind that I posted this pic), but I had something like this in mind.


But I don't know if it's the same colour as the rest of the car, with or without metallic (I would prefer without)...

bit of a tangent, but this is a 172 plenum i did in samco blue for a customer recently

Looks good Danny! I would prefer it in matte blue, but that's personal preference.

Also if I try to imagine it (just this shade of blue) in my engine bay, I think it would be a bit bright?

I did a quick test with 4 spray cans (ignore the quality of work)

with flash


Without flash


It's hard to get a feeling for colour from a photo, but I'm leaning towards the 2nd from the right side. What do you think? Could someone photoshop this into 4 different cam covers to get a better idea?

2nd in from left for my choice but its your car

[dkrevs]

1st from the left, IMO.

Possibly black, but I don't mind how it is at the moment, as it's been sprayed silver and is currently in very good condition
