Default Painting Engine Bay Parts

I've seen a few people with their engine bay cover's painted and to me it looks sweet. Was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to have that done in the Los Angeles area... that's Los Angeles... not SF, not SD, not fricking Barstow... LA.

Also wondering if anyone else was interested in getting it done... we can see if a shop will cut us a deal or if someone in the LA area has already done it and is willing to do it for me, let me know.

I've got a buddy who's got a body shop. I haven't talked to him yet, but the group discount is a good idea. I'll drop by there this week.

5 is a good number.. I'll email him some pics of the cover and call him tomorrow to see whats he can do for us.

I'm assuming we're just talking about the primary engine cover, correct? Are any of you going to want to include the other two covers?

I know I only want the primary cover to be painted on mine.

Left him a message but he didn't call me back yet. I'll stop by there on Saturday and show him the parts and get a quote for us.

I'm about ready to give up on him. I don't if he's out of town or what -- but he hasn't called me back yet. I spoke to his brother and he said he'll relay the message to him. I've been incredibly busy so I haven't had a chance to drop by there yet.

If anyone else has any other recommendations for a good body/paint guy with affordable pricing -- let us know.

Preferably we need someone who works from home. That way you'll get someone who has the time and won't be ridiculously expensive. The body shop guys are usually too busy with insurance scams.

Default engine cover question

in order to remove the main engine cover to paint it , do you have to take the strut brace off to get that one bolt off on the RH side?

No need to remove the bar, the bolt is a little tricky but can be done. I used one of the new craftsman ratcheting wrenches to take it off in seconds! (jeez, that sounded like an infomercial)

make your life easier! ...AND if you call within the next 5 minutes, we'll throw in the juicer, the miracle clean, the ginsu knifes, the abdominizer, "grandmas gone wild", and a pet llama.
