When you're finished don't drive, cause you'll be as high as someone on crack

they paint it black because it looks clean even though it may not be.Personally i like flat black after all my car is painted flat hehehehe. I would tape up all the wires and lines you will need them like that to work on them easier.

....and make sure you get the high temp. stuff. That's key. Maybe even mask some flames on the hood- ok I went too far. sorry

When I do my engine swap, I'll be jumpin into the engine bay and spray painting the whole thing + underside of the hood to match my future car color. The shop is going to take a digital picture of the paint color I want and use that picture to mix very similar paint and put it into spray cans for me
