Bedliner engine bay? Yay or nay

[browntown]

I can't answer your question, but I'm interested in this discussion. I'm not going to trailer my car to a painter to paint my bay. I don't have the skills to paint my bay with regular car paint and make it look professional. So I'm pretty much left with paints that are applied by the end user that are self-leveling and don't show mistakes well. That's the real beauty of bedliner because it doesn't show mistakes as much.

Maybe some industrial tractor or boat paint. They seem thicker and something you can brush on and it will look decent. POR-15 silver sounds like a good option too. Sub'd.

It's crazy how I have been debating this with myself for a while now and a thread pops up on it. Gotta love when that happens

Tape off grounds? sand them down after?

it looks like you're shaving your engine bay, yes? If so, I'd go for the white. It's going to POP and make your engine look sweet!

Not a complete crazy shave. I just took off the sealant and brackets.

are you tucking the wires and everything? I still say white. White is right!

No I am leaving them out I think.

And your engine is sexy. Great job. I'd say AWII it, all the work you did making that engine look so good to cheap out on the bay?

Bed liner. Then body color.

Sorry if someone said this already.

Glanced at the bedliner at Oreilly. I was tempted
