I am doing a 6.0 liter install within the next month and I am trying to start doing some polishing and painting but I'm not sure what all I want to paint or polish. So here is some ideas I had.

Block- silver OR red
heads- stock aluminum with polished ends for now(afr's later and probably fully polished)
intake- stock black ls2
tb- stock polished for now and later a FAST 90mm
valley cover/knock sensor cover- polished
water pump-to be replaced by an electric one
timing cover-polished
oil pan-undecided but probably natural aluminum (with a smiley face painted on the bottom.... hoping to put the front up that high on some nitrous runs! LOL)
valve covers- planning on red i think --- that alluminum is SOOOO poreish its almost impossible to get smooth to polish
probably going with a red head plate too

I'm not really sure about this stuff. I wanted to go red with the block and I beleive it would all match up better than if it was silver but then again I have seen many cars with stock all blocks that looked good. I think it was Nineballs engine in the 35th Ann SS that I liked soo much.

I also thought about doing a red block, water pump, oil pan and then add the polished timing cover. I kinda think that would look good but I dun want too much red.

id say any color combo usually works aslong as you only use 2 colors max. like red and black and chrome. never do 3. personally id do as much as possible chrome/polished.

So are you saying Red, Black, and Chrome would count as 2 colors?

I also agree with what stoleit said. There should be maximum of 2 colors other than black or chrome, but one color other than these would look best IMO.

The silver block would more or less be used to make the iron block look aluminum.
