    Well my engine bay was red, 40 year old paint. Well try to match 40 year old paint with spray cans. I found reds that were close but the shine was so great compared to the shine of yester-year. So it was satin black and now on to brake lines. Here's the now and then pics.

    I like it. Looks great. Body color is nice but black is way more practical. Easy to touch up and maintain for drivers.

    Looks great. Nice and clean. Just a word of caution though. Don't leave the TC in the tranny for any length of time like that or you'll be having the front seal leak. Whenever I pull the engine I try to replace it anyway. Easier to do it before it leaks.:)
