But yes drive's Eg oftenly. And not only drive' also do experiments
Painted my 86's bay myself....

[umarabdullah]

So , how did it come out? And did you paint it with the engine outside? Also share some pics, and what do you think about clear coat in the bay? Does it give it that extra shine or is it a waste of money?

[Hassan1991]

That bay actually looks so much better , just wow, but I am more amazed and bewildered by the condition of the interior, ماشاءالله!! It is super clean and preserved, I wonder what happens if you do the same for the underside of the car, i.e if you give it a coat, it will look great on a hydraulic jack and should also protect from rust no?

[umarabdullah]

Any update bro?

[Hassan1991]

thanks
Interior is fully stripped bhai it's much much better before....from inside firewall is clean and also coloured for preserving from rust.
And soon going to colour all cabin and again bay with rustoleum rust reformer.
Hahaha don't even ask what is underside .....coated with oil.
And bhai do you know which paint is used........simple can spary

[xipingo]

Will update tomorrow InshaAllah as on Sunday workshop was closed

[umarabdullah]

No way, don't tell me you did the bay with spray paint? Wow man you have serious skills I tried painting an old gate and I ruined it , this looks serious , like professional ماشاءالله, you should buy a can of clear coat and spray it on that will make it super long lasting as spray paint wears off otherwise due no usage of charge on body of car and paint

[Hassan1991]

Hahaha thanks itna mushkil nae bhai.
nothing special bhai it's so easy.... main thing is the surface....on which i spended more then a week....
Yes bhai i coated it with lacquer....still done all this just for an experiment....next time will colour it again with gun during swap.

[umarabdullah]

@xipingo o you should consider installing a tpms on your car as it is a very useful,cheap and easy to install mod

[umarabdullah]
