Painting engine compartment.

[flores_57]

I had my engine compartment painted black as I though it would make my engine stand out & the body is painted blue...well anyways, I was told by a so-called Mopar expert that the engine compartment in a Mopar are ALWAYS painted the same as the body. Is this ture? :clueless:Thanks

Always body color.

It should be body color, so you now have a Chebbie engine compartment.

 True always body color but it is your car do what you think looks good and what you want.

I dont think that a black bay necessarily looks awful, its just that every time I see it it makes me cringe.

it is tough to work in a black engine bay , too dark to see anything except in bright sunshine

Unless you have a black car then the engine bay should be the same color as the car.

  Sorry but I love a good joke

What color is your car..in your personal opinion do you think that the two colors clash?..but the most important point is if you like or not  with bullit is your car.

This is a big reason why I painted the engines bays and inside of my stock cars white. Another part of it was because white would more easily shows cracks, should any develop.
