Painted the block, what do you guys think?

So, I was bored today and had nothing to do, so I decided that I'd paint the block to match the rest of the accents on the motor, what do you guys think? The water pump will also be painted black to match.

Yeah, the car is red. Since I got it I've been trying to go with a black and red theme for the entire car. I'm really excited to get it all back in there and see how it looks! I wanted to keep it as clean as possible. When it comes to stuff like this I really honestly think that less is more...

Thanks guys!

Looks nice. I used to have a 68 Camaro, and I painted my engine just like that.

I just used Duplicolor Engine Enamle...Gloss Black. I was going to put a coat of clear on it but really, it doesn't need it. Cost me $4.99 for the can. It went a long way, but I still have to do the oil pan and water pump. I've been thinking about doing the trans in black when I get my built unit as well.
