Hey all, removing my motor today and wanted to get some ideas on what color to paint my motor.
Unusually, I do care about how this car looks and want it to be a nice looking car. Inside and out.
That said here is a picture of the bay and the car, Give me some color ideas! I'm open minded so anything from neon colors to black is ok with me.
TIA
I painted my rebuilt engine Jet Glossy Black. Find it the best color for engines
Hides dirt and oil stains.. JMHO then add some chrome stuff to it LOL
I used a product by Bob Hirsch enamel and added some hardener to it. It takes a while to dry otherwise...Good Luck
I used gray paint on my 3.0. The lighter color makes the motor stand out in the car and makes oil leaks easier to find.
Hey you do what ever? It's your Baby... I didn't even know engine paint came in those colors
What makes you Happy, 
am sure it will look nice
Of course I'll do whatever in the end LOL I've had horrible ideas before and regretted them later on. Sometimes a Snap out of it moment is needed...
The Aqua/Teal color was inspiried by some old pontiac motors I've seen before like the ones below. Copper and Gold accessories were taken from comments over at GRM. Maybe a white valve cover would look OK too.
If the Engine bay is Black then Aqua would pop...just saying.... odd colors pop more on Black engine bay in my opinion. I would say rule of thumb ...being to a lot of car shows and all
That when the engine color same as car color car Looks Factory,, otherwise engine black or Gray ( neutral color)
when the Engine Bay is Black Motor cod b any color ? ? Just my 2 cents
Opel sewing machines always was black/gold
