Duckndive Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 I,ve done silver blocks on oil boilers for years but IMO the cam cover is a bit OTT 1 Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 Yes I've always done the barbells, but I tried the sump and rocker box as I have lots of silver paint, not sure about the rocker box??? Quote
Blubber Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Very confused ... is it a zebra... is it a pedestrian walk...? Just the cilinders silver to give it the big block look and i think it looks awesome . But thats just me 1 Quote
wraith Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Barrels yes and sort of like the cam cover I'd also do the sump and geny, just to make the point Quote

Captn Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 I'm with @Blubberand @wraith. I'd leave the cam cover in black. Barrels in silver. The starter and alternator red details look excellent in my opinion. That billet case cover is f'n awesome. 3 Quote
Dezza Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 If the cam cover is silver, the block needs to be black; if the block is silver then the cam cover needs to be black. The alternate colours of case, block, head, cam cover, could work though with black and grey, or silver and grey because then they'd be less of a contrast and a reduced 'stripes' effect. Whatever scheme I think the breather cover needs to be the same colour as the cam cover, just to add my two-pennence worth Quote
