Engine Detailing: And So It Begins!
 

Cleaned the Engine Compartment and Added the Engine Cover. The Cover is Gray now. Will paint Her Black But haven't decided on colors for the lettering Yet. I know Yellow will be in the mix!

Engine detailing, start breaking out the q-tips! I went at mine recently with them and actually have medical swabs as well, which are more pointed and get in corners almost perfect. Works well to get the dirt/gunk out of all the corners and hard to reach areas.

If you're doing the cover black I'd say just black with yellow lettering (or vise-verse). Nothing too crazy looking, just nice and simple.

Also there are companies that make vinyl for the lettering, so you dont' have to worry about taping everything off :thumbsup:

I Painted the Cover High Temp Gloss Black, cause I didn't think all that Yellow would Look right. Finding the Comp. Yellow is proving difficult. In the paint list in the auto parts stores there isn't anything Yellow listed. I was thinking Yellow and Red for the letters?

Chib: if you know of any sites were I can find vital lettering that would be Great. I was Also thinking about painting the Alligator Housing the same Black. Just to give it a Finished Look.

Back when I had my yellow 03, I had an auto parts store mix up a pint of the competition yellow (gave them the paint code). I used it to paint my sub box and as touch-up paint. You're right though, that's not a color that's readily available.

Sure, here is the site I was thinking of: Monte Carlo L36 Engine Cover Overlay Decals

They do great work, can work with people really well.

Went to the sight. They have the colors I want and the prices are great. Thanks Chib! You day Monte Man! :thumbsup:

Glad I could help!

Congrats! That is gonna look nicccce! I need to get off my lazt butt and do mine as well.

Can't wait to see pics!
