Hey guys at a point were I want to give my engn some character by painting my block head things like that but wanted to see if anyone on here has theres painted and would like to shear some pic just trying to get ideas I was thinking red block silver head and red valve cover or the other way around silver block red head and silver valve cover thx to anyone that sheres or puts input on this

 

My new motor is black block and silver and black asents. No photos yet but i like simple colors and it flows with my interior.

 

Red block to
match your rim then polish everything else

 

Idk but if it was me I would do my block black gold freeze plugs...silver machined head and black/silver valve cover...keep it some what Oem...

 

Red valve cover, media blasted head gloss black block, clean aluminum timing cover, black LCE pulleys, black oil pan, brass freeze plugs, media blasted intake manifold

 

I painted my block "aluminum" engine enamel. Didn't paint the intake or the head. Matches the raw aluminum nicely. Painted the motor mounts and brackets black, black valve cover with sanded high spots to be bare alum. Painted the block off plates, aluminum radiator and air cleaner purple. Looks pretty rad.

 

I used gloss black engine paint for my block left the head bright aluminum new .. painted timing cover and water pump satin silver engine bay Satin black valve cover championship white . Exterior color

 

I need to detail the engine bay out again. Throw some more paint around.

 

Yea it can clean stuff up for a relatively cheap . Mine was the creme color stock so it looked strange with white exterior

 

I just wanna paint the brake booster, fenderwells, small firewall parts, stuff like that. Make it look all nice and flashy for somebody to buy it.

 

I went simple and used high temp engine enamel black on the block and black and white on the 20r valve cover.It's a b!tch to keep clean with no firewalls.

 

I like that black/white valve cover Malesso.

My favorite treatment I've seen so far (on a Toyota truck) was a wrinkle blue finish. I love the wrinkle finishes on valve covers.

 

You need a TEQ oil cap bro. I have tons. Let me know if ya need one.

 

riceratyota that's a old pic don't have them on no more they were just the stock steelis painted now I'm running chrome diamond steelis

 

Alright guys thinking of leving the stock black block silver head and still not shur on the valve cover thinking of doing red crinkle paint and the timing cover wil be silver also

 

Here's how mines painted (black block silver timing, valve cover original head NO PAINT plain and simple

 

I sure like the look of the 20r valve covers better than the blocky 22r covers.

 

Krylon x-metals line of paint looks really cool over shiny metal. Or brushed metal. I have it on alot of stuff, its the purple accent I used. I have also used the glitter clearcoat underneath those before for a nice metallic look. Worked killer with the red xmetals on my dirtbike.
