Rough Cost To Spray An Engine Bay?

[SS8_Gohan]

hey guys,

just wondering if anyone knows what sort of price i'd be looking at JUST to spray an engine bay? Nothing fancy, not gloss, prob just a black

i'm guessing most of it's in the labour of talking all the shit out?

cheers,

daniel

you can do it a number of ways; either just buy a few spray cans, fairly cheap way, or if you have a compressor/spray gun you can buy a litre or so of black acrylic or 2 pack and spray it, should be able to do it for less than 100 or so. Strip as much as you can out of the bay so you can easily get everywhere,, mask up good style so you dont get overspray on everything......

I got a quote of 1k with my engine bay already stripped by myself.

but you're going for like a real pro build tho aren't you?

i just want to go black, and not even gloss is fine for me.

i guess the next question is how much $$ labour are we talking about in removing everything and putting it back in?

Nothing pro about mine -I'm going for just a black too.

I have done it a few times. Both with colour changes with leaving the engine in

I just done my stagea from silver to ford breeze 2 pac. You can get to most places, once reassembled you have to look fairly hard. Hardest spot is down the side of the rails. Just spray some black from below if needed

Remove as much as possible around the engine, radiator, abs, air intake, leave fuse box attached and put in a pastic bag and tape it up. Leave a/c cond in

Probably a good days work to strip and rub down. Use cheap green washing up scotch pad and home brand jif to rub it back. removes all grease etc.

Mask up and paint another day. Let dry and reassembly.

If you get some extra hands, you could probably strip, rub back and paint in one day, then reassemly the next. That do it in one weekend

You will have to mask CARFULLY the pink vin sticker. Dotars will not give you another one if you pull it off
