It's going to be a blue blue Christmas On the plus side , If anyone pinches it I'll be able to recognise all the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It provides a little contrast, if nothing else I added one to mine to try to reduce the noise. Can't say I noticed any difference at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevrobbins Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Shame there was no BLUE paint for the underside of the bonnet ... But seriously it dose look...POO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Its wood burning stove paint, hasn't burned off SDC13303.JPG Which stove paint was that? Looks to be good stuff, the last paint I got for my wood stove burnt off so if it withstands a TDI manifold it might be worth a try. BTW It's your engine in your 90 and if you want everything blue then good luck to you At least it's not covered in oil, soot and other muck. You can see when things start to leak as well with it being bright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnet being changed and new one will be soundproofed and blue inside and out , I assume that your engine bay is is clean with no oil leaks and a tidy factory finish Which stove paint was that? Looks to be good stuff, the last paint I got for my wood stove burnt off so if it withstands a TDI manifold it might be worth a try. BTW It's your engine in your 90 and if you want everything blue then good luck to you At least it's not covered in oil, soot and other muck. You can see when things start to leak as well with it being bright I got this paint and it did my woodburner and the 3 foot of exposed chimney pipe, I had enough left to do manifold and still have enough to do it again as it isn't as good a finish as the woodburner because I didn't put as much on. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160954120435?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 No oil leaks on engine or gearbox, no rusty bits either and no one can see it to complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
