    Default Painting engine bay in VE

    Hey,
    I have a question.
    I would like to colour code the interior of the engine bay specifically the sides of the engine. (The two bits of plastic on either side of the "Alloytec")
    I have attached a pic of what I want to paint.
    I want to match it to the car, which is Ignition Orange.
    What are the steps to do this? I know you need a high heat enamel to do it, but what's the prepping for it?

    How To Paint your Engine Cover

    pretty much follow that, but you will need to find a paint colour as close to ignition orange as possible, or get it custom made up.
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that

    Awesome thanks. I wasn't sure if there was a guide to it yet
