what color to do engine room?
 

have choice to do anything, pretty sure the boat will be all yellow....but dont think awlgrip matches bright yellow

White is the best color if your going to be doing the wrenching yourself it reflects the light the best. If your paying somebody to work on it......your paying them.

I do it myself

Sting don't they make tints for Awlgrip now? May be worth a look. Otherwise you can not do stronger then Gel with Durratech and tint it to match.

Give me a call this afternoon about the 502's if you still have them. (978) 985-0639

I like bright white under the engines and I like to see the paint scheme of the hullsides and deck carried over onto the sides of the engine compartment and the underside of the engine hatch. I also like when the rigging reflects the color scheme (ie. all clamps, hoses, brackets, etc., etc. are powder coated, fusion coated, painted, polished or anodized and often in a multitude of complimentary colors).

What about a med. silver or grey, or black, to me with some diamondplate would hide the grease and make the engine colors stand out, just my .02:D

did TomCat in Yellow with Yellow smoothed blocks and gimbels pumps and drives did eveything in new race boat in orange was told not to do them in color would be hard to work on ,engines our hard in white yellow orange no difference so go to work and start painting

the engines and drives will be blue as the boat will be yellow
i just want th eyellow to match the paint

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF METALLIC SILVER AWLGRIP?

hard to match when you drop tools and chip paint, plus the metallic's wont lay right because of the rough surface.
