painting the motor

[Sandman]

So I'm about to pull this damn motor to fix it and will definitely be painting it to look all nice and pretty, just not sure what I want to paint it.


I do have a few ideas though:

1. ALL black

2. black: block, valve covers, and blower; silver: accessories, heads, intake

3. old school Pontiac blue block, heads, and everything else black

4. same as 3 but everything else silver

Already have a silver/black thing going with the car right now

and for those who don't know, this blue:

Id say stick with the whole black/silver look. It'l look nice for sure.

Don't go blue. That blue is awesome on the old muscle cars, not so much on a 3800 W body.

I love that silver blue color, painted the BBC in my Goat like that to make people go . But I'm not sure what it would look like on a GP. To me it would depend on the exterior color, ie. a black or blue GP would look hot with that but a red one not so much. What color is your car?

You dont have a pontiac in your car so dont paint it blue.

Its a buick.

Buick motors were red.

Buick motors were red.

therefore he should paint the motor red.

my engine is painted caterpillar yellow,i was either going to go yellow or white like the old GSX Stage I of the 70's

Everything black, some small things silver, and a dark red blower.

My car is Galaxy silver so it's pretty light. And no red, that color only exists on the arrowhead.

 

[Ice Blue La Crosse]

Poncho Blue or red

If i had mine to do over, I'd do the S/C silver along with the TB. Valve covers and block black, heads silver.

Id paint it a color to where you can see oil leaks just in case Blacks hard to see oil leaks on

^^^Agree. Go with the blue.
