| I have my RB26 back out of my car now (to weld the mounts completely) and the engine bay obviously needs repainting. My question is do you think that the "black engine bay, white car" (like the old muscle cars) would work alright, or should I just repaint it the OEM superwhite? I've seen the Z32 engine bays done both ways, and either way seems to look good in my opinion, and it will look better than it does now anyway. You can see what 20 years of heat does to the engine bay. The OEM superwhite (repainted in 2007) on the fenders is much different (much brighter) than the engine bay. Here's the pic from last week I posted:
