UPDATE 9/4/10

Got to continue my quest for an awesome engine bay today..

First pics of the day:






The seam where the firewall meets the wheel well, after seam sealer:







Then after a lot of grinding stuff, scuffing, sanding, cleaning etc, I put down an initial coat of primer, to give me an idea of the few areas I still need to prep, and begin the paint prep, we still need to locate and cut the intercooler holes, and i'm going to cleanup a few areas to make them nicer, then another coat of primer, then black sealer before the basecoat and the different clearcoats.










Updated 9/19/10

Ok got to get back at it, after making the intercooler holes nice with a 4" hole saw, shot down some PPG Global Black sealer, yes it doesnt appear very black, hmph







Didnt get any shots of just the basecoat down, but then sprayed it with Jet black basecoat, then midcoat clear with the HOK gold flake, then regular clearcoat
