So this one isn't much of an engine topic as my goal for the C10 is to drive good, look good, and sound good. I'm having a hard time deciding what to do and thought I'd ask for input. What color should I paint my engine?
Here's my truck below. I picked up a 350 with Edelbrock's Pro-Flo 4 injection recently. I intend to run Holley's midmount accessory system in black. I'm hoping to pull off an OEM+ type look. I would like to clean up the firewall getting rid of excess seam sealer etc and repaint it in the factory gold without clear. I might do the same for the inner fenders but leave the tubs satin black. I'll hide wiring and hoses, too.
I don't want black or hugger orange for the engine. Too common for me. I was thinking I would back date it with corporate blue using the older Chevrolet script valve covers with the script in black. However, I'm having a hard time finding examples to look at to see if I would like it. I'm concerned how it would look against the gold, too. I'm open to other colors entirely. Buick red maybe?
Thoughts or suggestions welcome.
