Engine block color ??? Ok guys, so I have been pondering a couple options. I'm building a forged 347 right now & once I get the block back from the machine shop I plan to mask it all off & paint it.
Now here is my delima. Color choice
My car is NBM & the exterior color will never change. But I'm thinking when we pull my current motor I might shoot the engine bay with gloss black.
What color would you choose for the block & a couple other parts?? Here is a couple options I thought of, give me some feedback please. Also my intake is a polished Lingenfelter with some polished Specialized Stainless covers already in the engine bay. And all my suspension is red powder coated along with stock coil pack painted red. No matter what color combo, the coil brackets will be silver also.
Please no "don't bother painting it" comments. This is something I will be doin because it is just too plain to me not painted. And yes, I know the proper painting procedures. So if we could keep it specific to the color options & what everyone thinks would look best I'd appreciate it.
(Option 1)
Blue block
Silver oil pan
Silver heads
Blue valve covers
Blue front timing cover
Silver dampener
Blue anodized fuel rails from Speed Inc.
(Option 2)
Black block
Silver oil pan
Silver heads
Black valve covers
Silver front timing cover
black dampener
Black anodizes fuel rails from Speed Inc.
(option 3)
Red block
Silver oil pan
Silver heads
Red valve covers
Silver front timing cover
Silver dampener
Red anodized fuel rails from Speed Inc.
