The paint job looks great!! I was wondering how you painted your 'engine compartment'. That would have been a whole lot more work!

Looks great!!

Who owns that orange Crossfire? I've been contemplating painting my Crossfire orange.

I had a Orange GTI and loved the color.

Maybe one or the other or both. It's a hard color for digital cameras (especially point and shoots) to get right as it does have an orange tint in it. The SSB is hard to capture correctly also.

I'm going to claim false advertising here... the engine bay is not what's been painted...

It is just the engine cover, unless my eyes are deceiving me.

But it looks excellent!

No - it is not flame red unless you had the car repainted. It is BLAZE Red Crystal Pearl. A heck of a long name, but an very pretty color - - same as my 06 Limited Coupe.
