I plan to do this one day... When I can afford the paint

 

[TheSkygun]

that is actually a good idea, but those sleeves he has on the fluids i want.
i think im going to hold off on painting major stuff till after manual swap and if i get a b20 or not and if i turbo or superchager or idk

 

[NemesisCBR]

He still had to clean first or the paint would turn shitty if you sprayed over the dirt.

 

[R13]

Well yeah, My block is clean and it still looks shitty.

Well yeah, My block is clean and it still looks s***ty.

Hit it with engine degreaser, let it dry out, then spray away.

 

[TheSkygun]

mine is dirty but the vc looks good haha

 

[TheSkygun]

i would have to go somewhere that i could do that. my place wont allow me to wash my car here. miss my old place, they had an area for people to wash their cars

 

[XjoEnX]

LOL that's what most people look at first anyways. If that's clean, you don't focus so much on the dirty stuff.

Hit it with engine degreaser, let it dry out, then spray away.

I used degreaser and a toothbrush will that have similar results?

 

[TheSkygun]

yeah but i want it all clean, its like what tom said. the vc looks nice but everything else looks like a h bomb aftermath.
probably will order the covers on ebay. i think i may just paint little stuff and little cheap things for now and clean the bay up. i should start thinking how i want to build after doing a manual swap.

 

[XjoEnX]

Good deal. Usually when I clean up the engine bay, and I only do it when I go to meets, I clean it with Lysol wipes that I take from my office. They work great.

 

[TheSkygun]

But your bay is clean to start. Mine is filthy haha

 

[XjoEnX]

lol it can be clean with Lysol wipes.

 

[NemesisCBR]

lol its because the vc is white and so fresh that the rest of it stands out to me like a dirty thumb. I havent cleaned my bay in years but having done a mild clean once left it in decent shape years down the line. City conditions. All i did was wipe down whatever was visible and within reach. Including underside of the hood. Hit visible areas of the block with degreaser where needed but i prefer carb/brake cleaner. Just dont get it on paint.. ask me why my firewall is showing some skin.

Hehe, I used carb cleaner to strip paint off a set of vc's once, One can and the straw that comes with it was strong enough to blast off all of it, no sanding required!
