Look at this I didnt think of overspray when I
painted the lighter yellow on the sides of my hood.
This stuff is like a fine dust very removable. So
Ill take some time and clean up the whole engine
bay this weekend.

Joe try a Mothers clay bar, many painters use them to remove overspray.

Here's another brand:

I'd be more worried about getting a proper timing belt cover on the engine.

Good idea Dan!...... a little laquar thinner on a rag and a little elbow grease will take most of that off.

Oh yeah, I think I'm familiar with that stuff. It's the powdery stuff that gets all over the neighbors' cars when you spray yours outside on the driveway, right?

Today I took top off set it aside and went for a drive
In the am well by 10 I was on the road. till 12.
Its a fun car to drive. I dont need a timing guard
what I need is the belly pan on though.
I had a rock hit up under the hood before
dented the hood..I think it was kicked up from not using
the belly pan then maybe got caught up in the belt. The latter
of that scenario is douteful.. I dont need a timing belt cover.
What for.

What a visual. . .
