I'm trying to get some ideas on what to paint and what not to paint. I'm looking for engine bays and parts that are the same color as the outside of the truck.And ok it doesn't have to be the same just let me see them.Or if there is already posts please direct me to them.Thanks

I am by no means a 6 cylinder fan, I wouldnt own one, But that is the best looking cleanest 6 cylinder engine compartment I have ever seen. Beautiul man. Your truck could sit in my drive way any day
