Painting an engine. What scheme did you go with?
Just interested to see what color combos and different styles people chose when rebuilding and painting their motors. I plan on painting the block and everything black then doing everything aluminum in a titanium dark silver. I would like to see what other people are doing

check out 91toy, and his sons rig. Chefyota4x4 and iamsuperbleeder...that's good stuff.
I personally like chevy orange...I actually painted a spare timing cover that color awhile ago and just put it on recently when I put a new head in my truck. Chevy orange with that bare aluminum is NICE imo. gloss black air cleaner and a red valve cover with white writing and it'd be ready for a car show
not really

Lets revive this thread. I'd like to see others paint schemes aswell
This is before I cleaned and disassembled
This is once it was cleaned and reassembled
Here's a teaser pic just to give ya a idea on my color scheme.
This is a fairly new rebuilt engine. It was in my 87 and had less then 10k miles on it. It was previously a carbed engine that I removed to install a 4.3. I disassembled this thing so replace every gasket and seal there is before installing it into my 93. I had no reason to paint it but decided it would look cool. This is my first engine paint job. Now it's not even close to being finished. I will as updated pics as I progress.

Looking for ideas as well for another color scheme but here is what I did to two other motors.
Blue and silver to match my 86s color.
Red and Silver just look good to me.
