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!

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

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!
