Underbonnet FCS prep

[Stunty]

Was going to just give under the bonnet a wipe over prior to FCS.
But instead.......

Removed the fuel rail guard, give it a layer or 3 of high temp paint.

Masked up the inlet, gave that a lick of the same.
Wet and dried, then polished, the raised Renaultsport logo.

Why didn't you remove the inlet to paint it?

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

Looks tidy.

Why didn't you remove the inlet to paint it?

Mostly out of laziness

Mostly out of laziness

LOL.

Surely it look longer to prep all that area with news paper than to remove the inlet manifold?

Does the inlet just bolt off?

 

[VIICarCare]

[MartinR]

But Flol at spraying it in situ

Yep.

10~ bolts, unplug the sensors, unbolt the coil pack and it lifts off.

Someone painted my inlet manifold with out removing it with a brush. (prior to my ownership)

Looks a decent finish on yours though

Looks a lot better, but as per above I cant understand why you didnt just take the upper inlet off to paint it, it would have been quicker and no chance of overspray etc then either.

 

[Burty182]

Yep.

10~ bolts, unplug the sensors, unbolt the coil pack and it lifts off.

Oh no gasket or anything then.
Think ill give mine a go!

Looks better but this is how you do it properly.
