The engine is out the coupe an stipped, i'm wondering what colour to paint the block, head and rocker cover.

I'm wanting some ideas. Maybe plain or crazy, because I just can't settle on anything.

Cheers all.

What colour is the car ?

sprint blue as I just looked at your profile so I'd do the rocker cover ford st orange and the block/head black .

The flip of Nismo's suggestion. Orange block/head with a black cam cover and polished plug cover/cam cover lettering.

Paint the block rusty brown cuz ya don't see it once everything is back in.

i would say shiny silver but the amount of crappy engine blocks ive seen like this or even where they have only sprayed the front has now put me off painting my block silver so id be going for some thing like nismo said

Gunmetal grey like my new wood burner.

I would be concerned about painting the cylinder head, it's aluminium and will be a bugger to get properly clean so that the etch primer needed will stick properly. If you don't use etch primer the paint won't stay on for long.

The cam and plug covers are easy to clean and prime and paint will stick to the iron block easily.

Your right, don't think i'll bother painting the head, i'll just clean it up. Black for the block ( it's painted in oil at the mo anyway!) ... Good idea with the orange and polish the coil cover to mirror finish. I'm still open to more ideas if there's any out there. Daz.
