did a little experimenting today since got off work early. painting the engine bay almost the same color but with a little more pizazz

did a test on my little trash can, pictures dont do it any justice but think pearl with flakes. looks 100x better in person.

well kinda cheated since everything was disconnected and drained, all i had to do was pull it out lol.

right now im in the process of sanding and primer. i hate it as much as the wiring but then again im actually forcing myself to work on the car. its become more of a chore than a hobby lately lol

i should be done by saturday with the engine in and all that.
