Engine bay cleaning and painting time.

Well, I am too lazy to pull everything out of the engine bay and send it to get a $400 paint job. Sine not much is shown due to the vacuum hoes, wiring, tubes, engine, etc... not much of the bay is seen. So, I just got a can of spray degreaser, toothbrush, sponge, sandpaper and put some elbow werk into cleaning as much as I can. then I tape off parts trash bagged the engine, and newpapered other items. Next, I went to O'Reilly and got high temp primer spray, high temp spray paint, and high temp gloss finish. I waited a 24 hours in between each to let dry and cure.

got the wires out of the way and bagged for primer
