Goes well with coloured hoses etc. Engine bays are all about coordination if you ask me.

Fair enough t40's would cost you a fair bit on fuel so i suppose its best kept as a fun car! gun metal would look sweet but never seen it in heat resistant before?

you'll only really get basic colours in heat resistant, black, red, silver, blue and so on.

surely charcoal briquettes & lighter fluid coupled with a grill would be more sensible?

Not sure the paint on its own will cook the burgers right through.:cool:

Hammerite is fine on a engine.
I would do the block/gearbox black/dark grey and the head etc silver.
