Not exactly my cup of tea, but as long as you like it.

I wouldn't paint the brake reservoir though. Makes I hard to do a quick fluid level check.

Yeah I'm with you. I don't know what color stang you have but I would have just done one of those colors. The blue and red don't go well together IMO. But if you like it then hey, it's your car.

Brake fluid reservoir has a low fluid sensor. If I get curious, it is pretty easy to remove the cap and check the level.

So does the oil level, but that's when it's dangerously low. I like to be able to see mine.



Looks like you did a great job on the painting though. Well done and quality paint job.

The car is Kona.
Here's a larger picture.



An all Kona engine bay would be kind of boring.
The red/blue actually look very good together.
Red valve covers and intakes are quite common.

I like the idea, the colors not so much. But the colors match. Kona is a hard color car to get the colors right on. Never seen the intake runners painted though. Nice job on that! Its definitely different! Makes me want to mod my engine bay!

Yeah the blue doesn't match and the red is to much. I like the idea, but maybe a different color scheme?

I like the blue paint on kona but I'd left the red out kept it silver coz I think blue silver goes well better but that's just me

Here's a pic of mine. I was thinking about painting my manifold also. I just thought the grabber blue would be to much so maybe gloss black. Any input would be great. Looks good btw

I know painting aint easy and your quality of work looks good; better than stock. Thinking of powder coating myself but hadn't considered two-tone so thanks for the ideas.
