New Zealand Datsun Club

Have it whatever colour and scheme you like, only you have to enjoy it

Opinions? What colour should it go in

The engine bay should always be painted the same colour as the rest of the car. (Unless it's a POS chev)

Agree, engine bay same colour as outside of car, and then detail the engine bay with the co ours you chose for your trim.

Cars' Goin White,So it should also go in white too ,I dont think i could maintain a white bay,What about a dark colour,Or some bandit colour?

Whit isn't impossible to maintain. The key things are to apply three of four heavy coats of wax before reassembly. And to have all protrustions and holes made before painting. And to have all engine bay accessories Polished, plated, or painted to avoid rust stains. Then so long as your engine isn't an oil weeping, blowby spewing turd it's not that hard to keep it looking good.
