decided scene as it was a nice day and i had blitzed the car to an inch of its life, to nip to the local auto store and buy some paint to jazz up the engine bay. process was : rub down with various wet and dry cant remember what grits i think it was 300, 450, 800, 1200 anyways. then rinced them down and dried, then a good few coats of primer, then paint (another 6-7 coats) then laquer (2 coats i think i done). Now i am by no means a professional painter, but they turned out pretty well, a few bits could be better but owell, im chuffed enough.

Hope you waxed your engine cover and what not.
I myself have the same Menzerna polishes you used, hoping to use them on mine in the Summer! Not polished it yet in my ownership.

hit a milestone today.
picked up these from my mate aswell. need to source a 4th as you can see but got them at mates rates, inc 4 centre caps (still to get off him) and need refurbed. but will go into storage for now till i can afford tyres and adapters.
and just a random shot of the car
