Engine bay prep/paint cost??

**stealthknight619** · 01-29-2013, 02:02 AM

I am having this done very soon. Looking to rhino-line the lower section and pearl white on the top section (imagine a line along the abs brake lines where it would be oem pearl white above the lines and rhino line black bellow the lines, same line on the other side. Will be having done in my garage by local painter. He will also be doing the underside of my hood. What would be a fair price fpr all this? I have an estimate just want to get an idea from those who have experience doing this or have had similar work done professionally. Everything but the shifter cables will be removed from the engine bay even the subframe. See pics. Thx

no pearl. you can't patch pearl. save it for the outside.

pearl also makes the paint much more expensive FWIW.

There is a jam code for the underhood that is just white. Your painter should have it. Much easier to match. Pretty much any spray bomb white is a decent match.

Paint it black.

My new project is pearl white.
I haven't looked at the color of the engine bay yet but the best paint shop in town told me a long time ago the bay is different and to stay true to it.
I'm guessing its probably just white matt without the pearl.
