Engine bay. Paint or leave as is?

Engine bay. Paint or leave as is?

by miles » Sat Mar 07, 2015 9:29 pm
Engine is out. Engine bay is in good original condition. Some surface rust, but also original wax.

Outside of bus has been painted. Do I leave engine bay OG, or paint it?

Thanks Miles.

My personal preference is to paint it as the outside of the bus has been painted bud, if outside was og i would say leave it
