BLACK!!!
If you have a oil leak it does show up believe me!!
Put a black car next to a white car... which one shows more dust???
You'll see the oil in the dust of a black engine..

And it doesn't get any hotter than any other color, unless maybe you're ruining around without a hood.

But then again that's me.

I painted mine Ford Gray. It's different from the common blue or black and has more shine than cast gray.

i like that grey color....looks very good.

i think blue looks kinda lame. i dunno i cant explain it. that block above has way too much blue. maybe if it was just the block and all the bolts ons were either chrome or black or whatever then it would be pretty sweet. but that whole thing blue looks "we todd id."
