Engine Bay

After we stripped the complete engine bay and removed everything that was removable, we first had to find the right color to paint it. The problem was that the Dolomite did not have its original color on the outside, it obviously was painted new at the old restauration. Although it also was yellow, it wasn't the original Dolomite Sprint-yellow. Gladly, we made contact to a good paintshop, so they were able to mix us a very similar color like that one on the outside for the engine bay. Next step was to remove all the old paint from the bay, at some spots I counted about 7 different layers of paint, so me and my dad spent ages grinding off the old paint.

Quite a few hours of work, and all the old paint was removed:

All the edges were primered with a brush before spraying,
to make shure the paint gets absolutely everywhere:

Ready to rumble... err, spray:

Primer...
