#1 Engine block paint

Post by Bristoletype » Thu Mar 08, 2012 12:26 pm

Dear readers,
I'm renovating my xk engine from my 68 FHC e type and wondering whether I should paint the engine block BMC green as I have a tin of high temperature enamel. It could look pretty good as the car is BRG. Would this be a cardinal sin or shall I procure a tin of black enamel instead???
Thanks for any advice.
Graham

Graham,
Your car, your choice!

Although personally I'd go for black.

Cheers

Hi

The only other vehicle I can picture that has the engine painted the same colour as the body are tractors.

:D

I would only do it if my car was black :lol:
