What does your bay look like?

[70dart]

Hemi orange or black engine color and bay color go with the body color!

 

[daredevil]

i love to show my bay

The color of the car will be changing and so will the engine bay.

I agree, the engine bay should be painted the same color as the car.

Black powder coat on intake, carb and timing cover... plack paint on motor - bare heads

 

[1qwikScamp]

i say paint the engine bay body color and paint the intake motor color. i think the bare intake looks too GM looking. plus i have yet to see one that has actually been drive stay clean.


before.

after

i like the stock valve cover look also.

i love the heater hoses where did you get those

I think body color for the bay looks best. Didn't paint intake, just bead blasted. Makes it stand out a bit.

Just a very stock looking hemi orange set up with body color engine bay. Clean and simple...

 

[lhearold]

I went with red to offset the white on the outside.

Here`s my stock `68 Dart 340, mostly correct with the exception of an extra ground on the battery and a lack of paint on the bypass hose.

273 in the Dart is Red
360 in the Truck is Cummins Beige

I like painting them the way the car came from the factory.
Street Hemi orange happens to be my favorite of them all.
Just happens that is the color for a 1970 340 Dart.

Nice my bay also looked like your before and i really like your after pic. Looks clean and together not a bunch of colors. Thanks for all those pics! helps a lot, i think i will go with either stoke color. Now where can i get the correct color?

 

[clifftt]

Here's babyblue's fraternal twin!

 

[abodyjoe]

Now where can i get the correct color?

best results would be from using a urathane paint over epoxy primer.

this is street hemi orange. DUPONT CODE : 5067U
PPG Ditzler code 2186

I would like to know how you people keep your bays that clean! Seems like after the first year the paint started chipping off the engine! What do you guy's use for engine paint?

 

[abodyjoe]

i love the heater hoses where did you get those

they are just regular hoses with a cover on them that my dad brought home from work like 15 years ago. would like to find more of that stuff. it isn't on the car anymore.

Looks like that stuff beats any high temp engine paint from a spray can! Maybe one day I'll find time to pull the engine and repaint!

definatley. spray can stuff sucks it doesn't look or hold up like the urathane does.
