I'd just like to see what some of you guys have done with your engine bays. Colours and schemes really. Cheers

Cheers - Please ignore the date on the pic, I'm not technology friendly and the missus only lets me use the old camera.
Very nice likng your bay.
How are you guys getting your alloy - head, can carrier looking so good ??
I just used hot water, detergent, elbow grease but some of these pictures the alloy look new.
Cheers

I've used silver VHT paint on the head and cam carrier, will probably used Smooth Hammerite on it when I build my 1300 turbo lump up tho

Ok, I'll remember that for the future. It's one of those things that only time will tell how well it stands up to use ie warming up cooling down etc etc.
An aside to this - has anyone had an alloy parts aqua blasted ??
I have just sent off my webers for blasting - I hope they come back as good as the blasters gallery pictures.
I'll post some before and after pictures when I get them back.

Cheers lads. All of these are top quality jobs! You should be proud! Keep up the good work and hopefully I'll post a picture of mine when its finished. Keep the pictures coming! It's nice to see the 8valves instead of an xe!
