Thumbs up Leave it or paint it???need advise.

I dont know what to do. i am leaning towards keeping it orange do to the old school small block thing, its a nice finish, it will let everyone know its lsx.
the only bad is i have no orange on my car anyplace, but everyone knows chevy orange is a fast color so it makes it ok.

if i was to paint it it would be black or silver to match my intake.
that do you think?

and please chef, no hot pink

I'd leave it be.. there's no hiding it's an lsx, you've told everyone LOL, and you can see it on the block itself. Plus you'd have to mask off all the mating surfaces to paint it, etc.etc... too much of a pita IMO. Leave it orange, it will stand out nicely... hell leave the intake alone too, noone cares what a fast race car looks like, and yours already looks 100 times better then most cars that run as well as it does.

thats what im thinking, and you cant see a tone of it anyway, plus with my intake and heads silver as well as black coveres and silver oil pan. it should look pretty sick imo

maybe some air brushing on the lsx part

Def leave it that color. Like you said it will look sick with the silver heads and intake, and as nautilus said it will look awesome in a white engine bay and will really contast it well.

I'd paint it black.The orange doesn't look right to ma plus you have to paint it anyways since alot of that machined/unpainted surface will rust after it's built.
