Blue Engine block color combinations?
Hey guys,
I'm looking to paint my "new" block that's got surface rust and peeling black paint everywhere.
I'm liking the shade blue that looks similar to Ford Grabber Blue.
But, does anyone have any pics of a Blue block with Black heads/Valve covers or Black Block and blue heads? Or some other color combination with Blue?
I found a pic on here with the block and heads blue but no intake and valve covers.
I'm just trying to find a nice combo that won't clash.
Thanks!

Re: Blue Engine block color combinations?
Hahaha I plan to.
I just wanted to see what different combinations looked like before I go through painting everything only to possible end up not liking it. XD
Well....yeah, but painting it helps me feel like it's getting closer to being finished! lol
Also, do I see a little metallic in that block paint?

Gold you say?
You wouldn't happen to have a picture of that would you?
My engine mounts are gold right now. It was the only paint I had at the time and the originals were rusty as hell! And it contrats pretty well against the black block currently in my Trans Am.

That gold reminds me of a classic Oldsmobile engine.
Wow...you weren't joking about not being able to see the painted block...

Re: Blue Engine block color combinations?
yeah except alot of members have smaller brackets and electric fans and water pumps with no shroud so you can see the block better so it depends on what your doing
