well im going with a 91 5.0 with 69 heads and a nice aluminum manifold. my car is going to be the new chalenger hemi orange with the 73 gt stripe package.the engine bay is blk. the qwestion is? the right thing to do is paint it blue.BUT! A WISE OL FRIEND sead i should paint it ORANGE! WITH BLK AND SILVER FINNED VALV COVERS.he seas that it would look cool the body colors. has eny one done this? pics would be cool too.
its yours.... do what you want.... i think it would look cool body color if done right... post pics when you get it done
i am thinken about it? it would seem out of place to have a blue engine in a orange and black car? an orange block,heads with blk so cal finned valv covers would look nice.i wish i could find a pic?
Most cars and engines that are color matched and clean look great. If your happy with your color choice go for it. I have shot engines with left over body color and it has worked out well. Good luck!
People used to get on my case because my engine is red, then I explain that it's Ford Thunderbird Red and that seems to smooth things over.
My engine was sprayed with the body color, and its OK... but I would stick with a good high temp engine paint. I don't know how hard it will be to match the color you use to paint the car. Personally, I would prefer seeing a blue block with aluminum heads. But it don't even make much difference in these little engine bays. The valve covers manifold and accessories take up 90% of what you see unless you eliminate the shock towers.
How about Black block and silver and Hemi orange finned valve covers. I'm doing something similar on my Impala.
wow my spelling sucks!lol well the car is going to be dodge hemi orange which is the same as the 09 chalenger.so duplicolor makes a hemi orange eng paint.i figure that i can just tell them its ford hugger orange.untell i get that smart guy at the car show. we all know the type!
