Hi. I would like to paint my rx7 to a different color that what I have now ( i have red and want white). Just wondering how do they paint the engine bay? or if they even paint it at all. My engine bay is really dirty, do they clean it up for u er what? TIA

If you want a full conversion it will cost you quite a bit, since they have to do engine, door jams, and other little areas. The way they paint the engine bay is simple, they take out all engine parts then paint.

thats it. damn I wish I lived near u. Some guy who just does painting and body work on the side said he'd paint my car white for $900. and thats 3 layers of paint and prolly a real shitty job.

I guess that's where I'll bring my car for an estimate.

700 to paint under the hood, everything and the subframe to. I've done business with them before, they are a local neighborhood shop, and have been doing it for like 30yrs. They are really good and inexpensive.

Do they do welding and other fun things like that? I think I need most of the underbody of my car replaced. (don't ask why I don't junk it and start over, because I don't have a sensible answer.)
