What Color Should I Paint........................

[uncltrvlnmatt]

Like the question states. What color should I paint my engine that I am putting in my 1966 coup. For those of you that don't know it is a 4.6 DOHC out of an 03 Mach1.


CHEVY/GM RED IS NOT AN OPTION!

4v+76mm turbo= THE SHIT.... :thumb:

I say....leave it and just accent it with some nice powder coated pieces :thumb:

 

[eliyarbrough]

I'm with Aaron. That would look pretty cool!!

 

[Passenger]

I say black block, and just have the valve covers powder coated the same color the car will be. Leave everything else alone.

 

[realitygt]

i've never seen a white engine before :dunno:

From all the car shows i have seen painted blocks and interior peices black is the way to go. Its easy maintenance(sp?)

When i look at colored engine bays i just see a little bit of *SAID COLOR* and mostly road grime. With black, its the same color as road grime. :thumb:

 

[realitygt]

i'd do black or grey/silver for real. :coolsmiley:

That would actually look pretty good :thumb:

Paired with white headers... Hm, interesting...

 

[JonBeast]

I say black, to keep it clean looking...then accent with metallic dk grey powdercoated valve covers...and other random powdercoated accessories.

Ford blue is old school...4v mach1 deserves the new school :thumb:

Maybe in your car. This car is not going to be a garage queen. White is out.

:hammer:

No car of mine will be a garage queen, but the intent is that it will get so dirty that it won't matter what color the engine/headers actually are until I get down there and polish them up. That'd just look so clean if done well...

I like the looks of black as well, but only possible problem is if you have a leak or something couldn't that color make it hard to see where its coming from cause it would blend in to well?

 

[Schiffy]

When the time comes to paint my 408, it's going to be a black block, and all the bracketry and valve covers and what not will be powdercoated graphite grey... I like the black idea with the powdercoated accesories. it'll look blingin.

 

[Paul]

Black or "cast iron" colored.

Then powdercoat a bunch of stuff that goes on it.

This is tough, you guys are not being much help. The poll is close. I am torn between black new school, and Ford blue old school. I don't want to do body color (Antique Bronze) the engine compartment is going to be black.
