Well, after all of your much useful posts regarding which paint to go for ive now got to choose the colour. So...... for a bit of fun i've put up
a little poll up so you can decide for me.
Note that pink is not there, thats mainlly because i have no relation to Katie Price (AKA Jordan) what so ever .
Lets run this until end of play friday.
Blue?
In previous post you said "dont really care about advise" so why ask.
Heres my YB 205 block in red, now it was painted when I bought it and has a lacquer on top which is now beginning to peal a bit with use..
Heres a 2.0 pinto block with hammerite red on it, kinda has a pink shade to it tho..
Black or red on block if you were limited to that and use silver for the pulleys and bits..

Just going through this thought process myself. I'm going to go for burnt orange if I can find it in a suitable paint.

I do like to see blocks in red, with ancilaries in silver....
I like the Red block with the silver aux. Thanks for you pics! However, im a man of my word. You decide this one, sh*ts & giggles

The cam cover is ford purple velvet... didnt take long to name the engine the purple war head.. Hehe
On my old Punto GT I went for a matt black block, Silver head and a Yellow rocker cover. I have a pic somewhere!!! Looked great..
personally red on a block is crap.
black or my usual blue would be my normal choice but the engine for my "self build" is kawasaki green.
these days its either a stock look or somthing that fits with the body colour.

I wouldn't paint it black, it makes it hard to trace oil or water leaks, if you have any in the future.

Brown...
...so when the paint flakes off after a few weeks the ensuing rust doesn't looks so conspicuous!

+1
Im now thinking YELLOW! B0ll0x, can add it to poll!
Whats wrong with sparkle pink!!??
If red wins it going yellow! lol.
Silver block with black engine covers etc is actually rather tidy looking. Plus the black bits match the oil leaks when they happen
Looks cr*p after a while but no more than any other colour tbh.
Personally I like the blue that the engines are painted in the Burtons catalogue but I've never been able to find out what that exact colour is
or where to buy it from.......
Has to be blue.
Description
Black !
So what colour did this get painted?
Blue for me,everytime
Andy
It would be red or blue for me....
