What colour should i paint my main block/crankcase, ive got hammerite black, high temperature silver paint, but might be persuaded to go and buy some metallic purple or something!

bearing in mind this will be painted over some existing black paint and some rusty stuff.

thanks al

i do like a purple! black/silver etc is too boring...

Go yellow!!

new one then, on trying to find purple paint is can find none! any suggestions on where to find it?

I was going to say purple before I even opened this thread... spooky.

Blue!

dont do it black its a pain in the ass to find oil leaks

p.s. my vote is on yellow

Do it oil leak and road dirt grey... or just leave it for a few miles

we have done about 15 x flows and most of them have been bright blue which looks right to us, when we do them red they look garish had one yellow but looked a bit childish tbh sort of thing Noddy nmighthav eubnde rthe bonnet, but ignore my opinions totally - it is your car!!!

White

PINK

can't find purple? you can get red engine paint can't you? and you can get blue?...
not metaillic i know, but i'm not overly sure about a metallic engine paint

The silver will go with everything and not make it look fat.

haha i like the red and blue mixing idea i forgot paint can be mixed

My engine is a Toyota so I painted it Ford Blue! Obvious really.

Seriously I use VHT Engine Enamel high temp paint. Cures to a harder finish when you run the engine. They have a large selection of colours including Hot Pink!

Another one for blue
