Ive just gave mine a quick spray, which makes for a much cleaner looking engine bay.

Its a small job that doesnt take much effort, costs pennys, and gives some really cool results.

Cost me about Ԛ£4.99 for a spray can of heat resistant BBQ paint form B&Q. :D

The rest of the engine needs a good clean up but its still a big improvement.

Nah mate, I removed the rocker cover and manifold to spray them.
I was surprised as It didnt take that long to do.
Hardest part is trying to remember where all the hoses go lol

I know absolutely nothing about engines and was a little scared about pulling it all to bits, but it was really simple.
