I'm in the process of pulling things of to blast and to be coated a nice gloss black. Curious if there are any other murdered engine bays out there in the Protege world.
 
I try to keep my engine bay as clean and stunning as poosible but its not as easy as it sounds for me. Every once in awhile I get some chrome polish and some rags and try to tidey up but it seems to be to no avail.
 
" murdered out "

You like this Term dont you?

And I am working on just that....Getting everything done in Gloss, matte and Flat black with a touch of red.

It should look good when my engine goes back in.
 
Yes, "Murdered Out" the easiest way to describe the look I am aiming for, and you all know it. Blacked out everything. Minus the valve cover which is already bronzed. I'm actually considering sending my extra valve cover off to my buddy who can zinc coat it. I don't know how that would look though....it would be the gold zinc.....thoughts on that? I actually silver coated the first one but it didn't look like I wanted once I pulled it out of the polisher. Another thought was to copper plate it which I can do, but I would need to buy the copper which isn't cheap. We already have silver at the shop. I dunno. I'll figure something out.
 
Your the only one I have ever heard or seen use this term.
And exactly why does this mean black....Murder to me would be red for blood?

murdered out simply means that almost everything is "blacked out" wheels-any accesories and of course the car. "Murdering" is actually meant to define a flat black appearence to the entire car; kinda like the traiblazer on the show "rob & big".(i had to share my knowledge-thats about all of it-lol)
 
Hmm..Interesting..I learned my ghetto culture lesson for the day.
I now feel complete.

And BTW....
That is a Bad ass looking Suby.
 
I'm doing basically what has been described minus the body paint since I'm already black. I'll change that once the condition of the paint gets bad enough lol. I'm doing things simple and what I feel is classic. Everybody has their own definition of the term, however the main idea is the same, mostly black :)
 
Mine's on the way to be "murdered out", although I will never use that term to describe it, lol.

I have a crinkle red VC, black intake, black IC pipes, etc, etc, etc...

BTW - more Suby, it belongs to a guy on a local forum...pretty nice car.

I'm just sad to see the term "murdered out" has made it to the Mazda community.
