#29488 idk honestly... im never gonna find the EXACT color to match so i figured why not just make it more noticable....

atleast it hella stands out..

and when i remove certain things and mask shit up w/ electrical tape. it might actually not look all that bad. maybe i shud re do the valve cover the same color? or no?

#29519 Motor Mounts...hoses...wires... :eh:

If I'm not incorrect, MOST people remove their engine and components before painting.

If this is how you paint I'm surprised your car even runs after you swapped motors yourself...

Seriously, poor show, but what do you expect us to tell you? You're asking for advice but you don't wanna do it the right way and you've already done it your own way and this is the result so common sense would tell us...

*Edit* I've never seen someone route their coolant reservoir like that :eh:
