I am NOT a fan of mismatched door jambs and engine compartments and undercarriages. Keep it black - it's a great looking color. Just make sure you find all the high and low spots and get the body straight before you respray it.

Well it Came stock red, the engine bay will be repaint the same color. Its was terrible painted black with no clear coat, The paint is chipping every where. And yes i will be doing body work all around. But the main reason for painting is i got in a fender bender(not shown) and it looks horrible
