picked up my new engine today and i cant think what colour to paint it.
my last engine was black, with a matt black rocker cover, looked nice and effective but with this new engine i want something that stands out colour wise.

for people who dont know, this is my car:

and this was the engine:

just simple.

ive got my new engine:



and i was thinking of some cool colours. the calipers are red at the moment but i want them a different colour too.
i was thinking of an orange or bright green bottom end with a black rocker cover with which ever colour i decide (orange or green) paint flicked over it for a cool effect?

any other colours you can think of?

make it look good with a decent colour not a garish fluresent thing. black or silver looks a lot cleaner and tidier (spell that?) id say.

blue would be nice if you painted your calipers blue.
