LSx Engines painted Chevy Orange

[GregWeld]

I agree with Todd.... sad to say... :>)

Depends on the rest of the car and it's "purpose"... a show car should probably have a matching block to the paint scheme... a street driver - the black the Jody suggested... and to me (personal preference) I'd only ever do chevy orange on a 100% "restoration" if that was the original color.

My buddies black 56 - has a BBC painted a beautiful RED... and with the black inner fenders and billet --- the red really livens up the engine compartment... and is "kinda" like the orange...

So ---- like Todd said -- it depends...

That is a sharp looking engine bay.

I painted mine chevy orange a few months back. I still have a ways to go. I am going to order a weiland cast intake. Check out Carl Casanova's orange LSx w/ a magnacharger, it is killer.

Here is mine:

I've painted my iron block "cast aluminum" and it. Stated rusted in curtain areas. I'm going to try rattlecan epoxy black as a basecoat, then follow up with Chevy orange

Painted my LSA with VHT fire red metallic. Came out amazing!

Paint it plaid if that's what you want.

I believe it's a MARCH setup.... I'm in Calif tonight -- on my way to RTTC so can't ask him... but will - and if it's NOT a March I'll post it up.

It's a Street & Performance serpentine kit. That's what I have on my 6.0 LS. Not installed yet. I plan on powdercoating mine black.
