Opinions Wanted
To paint, or not to paint .??
Engine and suspension out of the Demon, a car I've owned for 3 1/2 years, and never driven.
The roof, quarters and tail panel have been "done"...not a final paint, but painted original body color instead of leaving in primer until the "real" paint job can be done.
So doors, fenders and hood remain original 52 year old paint..as well as the engine bay, which is the reason for my question. Keep in mind that I may never be able to afford the "real" paint job and will likely sell before its done. Would you paint the engine bay with the access that's there now...or leave it for the next owner.. Still shows original factory assembly line marks, plus, with the front of the car still in original paint, would it look odd to have it all fresh and new under the hood...and by the way, if I do paint it, it'll be color matched 2k rattlecan as I don't have access to a suitable compressor and gun.
Thanks.
