Engine Paint
« on: February 24, 2017, 07:05:11 PM »
I'm thinking about painting my engine. I recently changed the air filter to red and chrome. It looks cool, but I don't like it with the GM Orange engine paint.

I found some hi heat engine paint in various colors one of which is a richer orange / reddish. It would go nicely with the air filter. Someone suggested hi gloss black, but I'm not sure how that would look.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks, Andi
