Message	Well I finally got around to painting my engine bay. I'm been waiting to paint it but just haven't got around it due to the weather and such. I decided to do a total color change for my car because the original pearl paint is expensive and I dont have the skill to paint pearl. So I just decided to go with the charcoal paint. I also did not want to do a half ass job not painting the engine bay and the door jams. So everything is going to be painted Charcoal now. All in all I am very happy with the results. I love the charcoal color. I will be painting the rest of the car as soon as I finish up the body work. But for now I'm just going to put everything back in and get the car running. Well here are the pictures... ~Ben Before painting These are pictures of just the base coat on...no clear coat yet Now with clear coat
