Leave the timing chain cover unpainted?

[limp]

Should I paint the timing cover or leave it natural? Anyone clean there's up and use it unpainted?

I prefer the natural look but it's your call.

Painted mine. Just make sure you remove the paint where the battery ground connects to

I would tape off the sealing surfaces. And I am not sure about having paint in the coolant flowing areas. But on the visible areas, I would like the look of engine enamel over oxidized aluminum.

If you run full dress(a/c,p/s,and smogpump) you won't see much of it.
