Hey guys

So I'm gonna be freshening up my lq4 pretty soon and it crossed my mind about painting the block a different color and was wondering what everyone's done to theirs?

Pics would be great!

yeah, hint "freshening up the motor" haha but yeah its out. the main thing is decided what color to go with seeing that its not something that color can be easily changed. anyone got any pics of a red engine in a red engine bay?

i planned on painting my gto coil pack covers a cleared red with some flat black

O Snap i was wondering how that would look in my black ta and i think it looks sexy as hell and now i know what color im going with but i was wondering how much does painting the heads affect its ability to dissipate heat? Then i could just tell people its the truck motor with cast iron heads with a cam no biggie than WHAM bust there ***...
