What colour to paint the block???? - londondan86 - 06-11-2013
As the title really. Stuck on what colour to paint the engine. My silicone is blue and there will be a few shiney polished surfaces as well. So my thoughts to avoid clashing is to go with a blue on the block as well but still undecided.
Thoughts and opinions would be good
Cant get a poll to work properly?
Options are:
1. Blue
2. Black
3. Red
4. Yellow
5. Lime Green
6. Orange
7. White
8. Grey

Added a poll for you
Black IMO. Nice and tidy but hides the dirt lol
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - Jonny81191 - 06-11-2013
I vote Yellow. Purely because it'll wind Carl up
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - londondan86 - 06-11-2013

RE: What colour to paint the block???? - underground375 - 06-11-2013

RE: What colour to paint the block???? - Jake - 07-11-2013
Green
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - c.gerrard - 07-11-2013
Doesn't really matter what colour it goes, it'll get covered in oil before too long
Definitely not yellow, because if you do, I will come to your house in the middle of the night and remove it all, for trying to copy me.
I'm thinking something very manly, like say PINK!
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - mcvite - 07-11-2013
Red definitely
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - mr_fish - 07-11-2013
multicolour (blue, white, red)
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - cully - 07-11-2013
Please no not RED!
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - darrenjlobb - 07-11-2013
To be fair, it makes little odds, because even when kept clean (which if you rebuild it with new seals etc it will, engines dont HAVE to be covered in oil like every XUD owner seems to assume) you cant acaully see much of the block on the xud...the pump covers half of it, stat oil breather assay covers the other half...even more so with my old charger your running, so paint it whatever colour as once in the car you will barely notice heh.
Mine used to be blue, kind of works well as a imbetween colour...
That or just black for OEM+
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - londondan86 - 07-11-2013
Right I think the mob has spoken! I'll leave this thread up for a bit anyways, plus there will be plenty of time yet
I think Darren had a good point, it won't really be seen much but a colour does look nicer!!
When this red engine goes in I'll decide properly then on how much colour can really be seen.
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - Ruan - 08-11-2013
Yeah, you can't see any of it anyway...
Only way to paint engines properly is simply to dip the ENTIRE lot...
They look INCREDIBLE when you do it, but you have to make sure it's totally done, then just effectively spray the ENTIRE lot...

Looks a bit like that merc lump? Straight 6 VE lump of some kind?
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - John1.4 - 08-11-2013
Cummins 6BT 5.9L ?
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - Toms306 - 08-11-2013
Haha...beat me to it!
Bit of a fail there Ruan, anyone that hits the quote button can see the pic title.
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - Ruan - 08-11-2013
Well, it fooled someone who thought it was a Merc motor
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - Toms306 - 08-11-2013
Good point!
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - puglove - 08-11-2013
What 4 idiots voted white for an engine block?
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - darrenjlobb - 08-11-2013
Haha the biggest issue with dipping the motor, is that the second you touch anything, it looks shit. Deere motors are like this from factory, which is porn, but second you crack and injector, pull a rocker cover, change the pump timing, or aything, it looks f*cked, have to carry rattle can in the boot for on the fly touch ups lol
RE: What colour to paint the block???? - C.A.R. - 08-11-2013
Silver IMO. Black could make it harder to locate a fluid leak, mud & dirt will show up on black too.
