Paint first?

[EkHatch96]

Should i paint the car before doing the engine swap and suspention work?
Or paint after the swap and suspention?

Id say paint it when the engine is out so you can get into the engine bay etc

Function>Form... Get some parts!

If you have to paint the car, then yes. If not just skip paint and use the money for suspension and engine mods. That's much more fun than having a slower, shinier car.

So go forth and drop that b16b in now and do the paint later down the road.

Yea...but decide what colout u r going gto paint the car in and spray the engine bay b4 u put in the new motor...that way when u paint the car insde the bay will still look fresh...and that way you wouldnt have to take it back out to paint in there...
