Any bolts attached to the firewall before paint
« on: June 16, 2018, 03:23:40 PM »
I'm about to paint the engine bay and wheel wells. I have everything stripped out with the exception of the bolts and screws that hold the brake pedal bracket.
Would these be painted with the engine bay black, or should they be pulled?
Are there any other fasteners or components that would be installed and thus painted over with the engine bay black?

There shouldn't be anything attached.

+1 Pull those bolts and even the bracket as you might get some paint pass through the firewall holes and onto it during the process
