Engine color selection - Lateral-g Forums

Thanks, Ty. I've thought about that too. I might do it, but I'm leaning towards no.

One thought that has come into my head is to keep the earth color theme I have going and paint it a flat red similar to red clay or terracotta. I definitely want it red but not glossy or a true red. I think I'm going to explore that for the time being.

Always open to suggestions.

Thanks

Just be careful not to have too many colors going... Ben Hermance once told me something to the effect of staying with no more than 3 colors repeated throughout a car.

Take a look at two-piece's Camaro: the engine, brake calipers and interior are all the same blue while everything else is black. It's just a killer look and very cohesive imho.

This is true and on my mind, too. I'm just having a hard time seeing the engine in gold. I'm also concerned it would be too much gold since the firewall will be gold. I have plenty of time to make a decision and think about this. It'll be next year before the engine goes in I believe.

Thanks
