Engine Paint
Please move if this isn't the right section (plan on adding pics to this when I do it). Ok guys so I'm bored and plan on pulling my 5.9 Magnum degreasing it and print it along with the transmission. Now I am going to power coat the following in Plum Crazy Purple valve covers, timing cover (doing the chain double roller cloyes), intake manifold (doing plenum repair with a homemade 1/4 CNC cut aluminum plate), PS bracket, accessory bracket, and harmonic balancer. Now I want your guys opinions what color should I paint the block and tranny to look good with Plum Crazy? I thought chrome but thought that would look to gody. I don't think black would look good (maybe?). Mind you the whole truck (engine bay included) is getting painted plum crazy. I just want to get everything ready before I pull it so I don't have to make 100 trips.
Thanks Austin |
Actually, I think black would make a good contrast color. :)

Nope, you need high-temp paint, or it will bake right off the first time you run it. :D

Now that was an interesting read. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Don't bother with it then. You just don't have enough time to prep, paint, and allow to cure.
