What colour would you paint your block? - pugtk - 25-12-2013
As above what colour scheme would you paint your block, head and rocker cover?
RE: What colour would you paint your block? - ozonehostile - 25-12-2013
Red or bright blue block, polished silver for the rest of it.
Perfect

Or if you can keep it clean, silver

I've been thinking of doing my block gloss black, but unsure of colour to do the head and rocker, I don't want it tacky, If I could mange to clean the head up somewhat or just silver? but silver might look tacky?
RE: What colour would you paint your block? - Grant - 25-12-2013
Just clean up the head. Maybe a lick of silver hammerite. Keep it subtle

Silver ftw
RE: What colour would you paint your block? - Martin306 - 26-12-2013
Black all the things.
draws no attention.
I prefer to paint my block with old engine oil tbh. keeps all the water and rust off.
RE: What colour would you paint your block? - Dum-Dum - 26-12-2013
I like a blue block with everything else just super clean.
RE: What colour would you paint your block? - Chris_90 - 26-12-2013
Doing mine silver I think for 205. Cos think red block in a red car wouldn't look that good.
RE: What colour would you paint your block? - Tom - 26-12-2013
Something ridiculous imo! Nothing cooler than a crazy coloured engine.
RE: What colour would you paint your block? - sam - 26-12-2013
Bright yellow
RE: What colour would you paint your block? - Dum-Dum - 26-12-2013
Also bear in mind that there are certain colours associated with certain brands for engine blocks
Red -Chevvy
Blue - Ford
Beige - Cummins
etc
RE: What colour would you paint your block? - Dicky - 27-12-2013
Black.
It's inevitable that oil and shit will get on there
RE: What colour would you paint your block? - Lego Jon - 29-12-2013

I did paint all of it. That was testing the water to see if it was any good. TBH its still on the block now even though its had derv/oil on it then degreaser'd off.
Shame the XUD has bits bolted to it so you can't see much.
