Default Plastidip engine bay

Being that I'm changing the color of the Monte from bronze to silver I decided to paint my engine bay. I used plastidip to see how well it would work and it came out great.

I'll bet masking off everything you didn't want to plasti dip was a pain, but the outcome is lookin' good!

i think a big part of it is that you can pull it off, so you do it and really hate it just start pulling on it! instead of stripping off paint or repainting

Actually I didn't need to mask anything off. I was able to take most of wires off the shock towers and the fuse box and coolant take come right off.
