Looks like a center section and two sides... 51481916442 + two for the build of the car? Sometimes realoem is wrong on prices so it might be less, worth checking :)

It will be easier to just pick up some kind of heat insulation fabric or foam and install it myself.Comment

I wouldnt use the original insulation because of it holding moisture behind it and causing the studs that hold it on to rust out if they didnt already.
But if you decide to, your going to need this part number. 51481916442 Thats the whole middle piece for the trans tunnel too. I can get it for 40.00 and like 10.00 for shipping.
As for the truck bed coating. My buddy did his whole engine bay on his turbo car with no problems. Best thing to do would be to call the company and ask.Comment

Did he just use the spray-on/roll-on stuff, or take it to a place and have them professionally spray it?Comment
-
Duplicolor spray on.
Let me look for pics..Comment

Well shit, a turbo car is making a hell of a lot more heat than my engine will be, and if that stuff held up fine in his car, it will be fine in mine.Comment

Painting is finally underway. 2 coats on currently, waiting for this last one to dry before I go out and put down a few more. Going to let it all dry for 24 hours, then clear tomorrow.Comment

Just finished about 6 coats total on the engine bay, came out really good. Something reacted with the paint on the flat section of the driver's side, where the ABS module goes and caused a ton of tiny little dimples, but the ABS module will be covering most of it anyway, so I'm not really worried about it. Got a large box fan blowing on high into the bay to thoroughly dry everything, and I will clear tomorrow, just for a little added protection.

Also painted the faces of all the engine pulleys and the thermostat housing with DupliColor Metalcast silver, and my new valve cover should be here soon.Last edited by Jand3rson; 01-26-2011, 03:59 PM.Comment

Don't take this the wrong way. I like where this build is going, but i'm not a fan of leaving imperfections alone because things will be blocking them. That would make me lose sleep at night if it was done to my car, especially on an all out build like this lolComment

No offense taken, I'm usually the same way. It's the only area it happened in, and it will be almost completely covered. Everything else looks perfect, and will look even better after it's cleared. Stripping off a little spot putty and redoing it with Bondo is one thing. If you think I'm stripping all the paint off of that area back down and re-prepping/painting everything again, you're nuts.
I made this pretty clear before, this isn't a show car. I don't know if I'd even consider it an "all-out build". You're talking about an area in the bay that will be totally covered by the ABS module, ABS lines, and other stuff, not the driver's side front fender or the hood.Comment

I'd be too scared to have such a clean engine bay. I'd probably fuck it up! :)
Looks good Mr. Anderson.Comment

Yeah, I already told Andrew that when we go to actually drop the M50, I'm wrapping sleeping bags around the newly painted areas... LOL.Comment

Looks pretty good, especially for a can job ha.
The holes you're talking about, are they like little craters?
Sounds like fish eyes in the paint. For future reference caused by contamination of the surface most often by silicon products and the like, but since it's hidden and, lets face it, paint is mostly cosmetic here, no big deal.
A really dry coat first can often help for next time though.sigpicComment
