horses for courses mate - my lumps a delicate shade(s) of stormlike grey and black.....its strange , but this type of paint gets on your hands very easily but is a beggar to remove.

i was going to white up a lot of my engine parts, but in the end i CBA lol

it does look odd, but different. and tbh does it matter how it looks? aslong as the engine works lol

Doesnt suit it at all, the block would look good red with the head done in black with chromed rocker cover and head bolts .

Do you have white wheels? If there are other parts of the car that have a red and white theme then it may look ok carrying it on into the engine bay, but it'll be a bitch to keep clean, lol.

I actually quite like it in white, but it'll be a bugger to clean if you let it get dirty.

it will have white wheels to follow te white and red theme....although it might be a bitch to keep clean it will look good afterwards....

ahhh but the bits like the throttle bodie are going to be laquered so a kwik spray of brake cleaner or something will soon clean them. and as for keeping it clean thats sartains problem lol. plus that is the whole point the last colour you ever expect and engine to be is white

i think white looks mint. i painted my old nova's engine white but it was only a 1.2 so didn't wanna shout about it.
