Well, I decided that the inside of my engine bay was far too bland so I decided to spruce it up just a little bit. I figured the letters on the intake didn't stand out enough so I though the letters and the ribbing would look nice white.
I didn't take enough picture to do a step by step but it's simple enough to do.
Just remove the intake box thing from the throttle body and the air box, and pull it out. Then, I just taped over everything, and then used a utility blade to cut the tape off the letters.
I decided not to paint the word "MAGNUM" just because I figured I would paint that red later on.

Now, before anyone starts pointing out the mess ups, I already know it needs touching up but I feel pretty good about it seeing as I've never painted like this before. I personally like it, gives the bay a little color.

Let me know what y'all think.

 

now that is very unique, i would have never thought of doing that. i wonder what it would look like if the whole air box was white and the letters stayed black. got me thinking lol.

 

Get the rest of the engine compartment detailed to make that pop....nothing looks better than a detailed engine compartment....



Yes, there is a 4.7 buried under there somewhere...lol

 

Kent, did you use a hose over the coils and everything? I'm too nervous to go under there with water and what not. Maybe I could just Brakleen everything? Hmmm..might paint my intake tube now since I don't have the actual airhat

 

been thinking about doing that for a long time. then i think how i'm the only one who looks under the hood. should look good once its touched up.

 

That's all you got to show for?


I hose over everything, I mean I dont sit there and just soak the electronics, but it does get a pressure washing. I have used simple green too

 

spray simple green on everything and then rinse it with the hose?

 

I use that engine clean stuff every once in a while, but mostly a cleaner like simple green or some purple stuff. Spray it on, let it sit then hose it off. I dont high pressure anything, just a light spray then armor-all it.

 

I'll probably clean it after I paint the word MAGNUM red. And I'm glad y'all brought up detailing cause now I know how y'all clean ya'll's engine bay.
