Cool Bilge Paint

I have the engines out of my 35 Fountain and am looking at possibly adding some interest to the traditional gel coat in the engine compartment. Any suggestions on a paint scheme that would go with my red, black, and chrome accents?

That is a cool paint job. I am new at this paint thing. How did you add the splatter to the yellow epoxy paint?

The splatter is just Oneshot, any automotive paint store should carry it. You can alos use gel coat. You just take a popcicle stick and fling it all ove the place. Now real pattern to it, just put as much as you like.

That red looks awesome, also. The bilge on my fountain isn't really finished too smooth. Do I have to do something other than just a good cleaning job to prepare? Thanks.

That thing looks gay. Nice to see you employed a monkey to paint your bilge... have some class you dirtbag
You should have invested the money in a new motor. What a piece of junk.

Thanks Jimmy, I can always count on you to have my back. I just spent a bucket load on the motor, 750/800 hp is to much already for us Bravo guys. Now if I had a big old #6 hangin off the back like an SBRT member...........
