Hey guys, my car is citron gold with a Chevy-esque black engine bay.
I painted the engine bay at the start of the restoration when I intended to paint the whole car black, but later changed my mind and decided to keep the original color.
I want to re-paint the engine bay the correct color, but don't want to remove the engine. I can remove the radiator and everything on the firewall, but has anyone successfully re-painted their bay with the engine in place?
I'd hate to replace a decent black paint job with a crappy body color paint job.
What do you reckon?
