I painted the upper intake, thermostat housing, valve covers, accessory brackets, pulleys,
battery tray, alternator, power steering resivour, and the radiator cover. I also hid a few
wires on the drivers side - hood latch cable, amp power wire, neg. battery wire, and
rearranged the vacuum lines near the firewall. I did this over the winter (and will do more
next off-season) and have my first show of the season tomorrow. Hence, the reason I am
curious what the consensus is to the paint.

BTW, I would love to paint the block by the dizzy, but i don't plan to tear it down that far
unless major work is needed again.

I will post up some more pics later. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Duplicolor DE 1650 is the paint that looks silver. It is called cast coat aluminum, but looks silver.
Not exaxtly what I wanted when I started the project, but I like it now.

Looks great, i used the Duplicolor Aluminum on my upper intake also, looks sick. You could have taped off that plaque part, that's what i did on mine.
