Nice for sure. I see what you mean when it all back together.I'm partial to red blocks but only if the red goes with the color of the car. I did mine an old baby blue Ford engine color, which really doesn't go with my car color very well but oh well.
It definitely can be seen on my engine, but I also painted my water pump and heads so that adds a lot of visible area. Here's some old before and after pics..
I did mine in black. Heard on TV or read once that black helps displace heat from the block. Don't know whether that is B.S. or not.
If I remember right it was Horsepower TV on Spike I heard that about painting an engine block black to displace heat. They also painted the underside of an intake white for the same purpose on one of their engine builds.I prefer painting it a color that SHOWS grease and grime. This way, you can more easily identify oil leaks.
Very likely BS. I would imagine that the chemical makeup of the paint would have a much more significant impact than the color, and even then, it probably has a negligible effect period.
