what color should i paint my block

[slvr03dakrt]

Well i'm trying to decide on what color to paint my engine block. I'm thinking I might paint it hemi orange to match my powder coated valve cover and leave the m1 and acc. brackets plain aluminum. along with the aluminum heads. Or should i paint the acc. brackets. I don't have the extra money to powder coat right now but maybe sometime in the future. I could go with a black colored block but i think it will kind of take away from the valve covers. Can someone suggest some options.

Just do black. Anything else looks cheezy IMO.

Black gets my vote :biggthumpup: Hides dirt and leaks better too LOL

Black, and use the Duplicolor Ceraminc Caliper Paint on it. Looks great and is heat resistant to a much higher temp than regular engine paint is. I use it any place that temps are going to be 200* or over now.
