Engine Paint.....
<caution: some="" rambling="" ahead="">
So I am trying to figure out what color to paint my engine (starting with the water pump and maybe oil cooler).
My initial thought was IH red but that is not available at the local auto parts store so I got a can of ford red.
Not sure I want that either.
I saw a pic of an engine painted CAT yellow, and it looked good, but a CAT color on a powerstroke just wouldn't seem right (same for cummins tan).
Originally it appears they just used black paint but that is too boring.
So... if I am not going to paint it original and IH Red isn't available (or really right) maybe I should go something unique... they had a dupilcolor Alpine green engine paint that looked interesting...
I have always wanted to re-paint my truck in a dark green/burnt gold scheme so maybe find a different green to complement it.
I do not like the bright green they had but I do want a color that will show leaks....
So... Peanut Gallery... what color should I go for?
Keep in mind that whatever I get I need it by Friday, so common color or amazon.
