i was just wondering if any of you guys with white cars or anyone else had any ideas for me on a engine color. i'm going to be assymbling my engine in a few days and have no idea what to paint the engine. the car is white and the fender wells and the frame both are a dark grey. i wanter the engine to stand out. there are too many color so any help would be appriciated. any wild and crazy ideas thing you can think up will help.

paint it camoflauge, it'll really help it to stand out

Chevy Orange???????

i have thought of orange and also either yellow or black.

Camoflauge would definately stand out!!!lol

Orange, orange, orange.
Some I've seen are this brownish colour, others sooty black - in bad need of an engine shampoo.
ORANGE is standard, correct Chevy engine colour.

Orange Block / Black Heads (unless they're aluminum)

what about painting it the smae color as the frame, a dark grey color? or do you think it would be too black and white?

then what kind of paint? Rustoleum? single-stage? PPG? DUPONT? what shoud i do with the frame to?

I'm gonna try POR 20 heat resistant bright aluminum on mine just to be different. If I don't like it I'll use the correct "Chevy orange" before I put it in the car.


Theoretically black is supposed to be the best color. At the local shows I go to the shinier the better so I'm going to try the bright aluminum.

I my mind, the coolest look is Chevy orange block, heads and water pump, black oil pan (it gets that color anyway), brushed aluminum intake and valve covers, black water inlet/thermostat housing. If you are using headers-satin black. If you are using cast iron exhaust manifolds-steel gray.

We are the restoration page. We want to restore. Orange is the colour http://www.chevelles.com/forum/tongue.gif

Now I had a 305, no a 267 (cr$p motor) that was blue and the heads were a different blue. But that was ...? a 1980.
