I'm nearly to the point where I can decide on paint colors for my M42.  Please post pics of your painted engines, so I may capitalize on your ingenuity and hard work by copying the best color scheme(s) for my baller ride.  Thanks!

Thanks for the link, I remember seeing this a while back, and had completely forgotten about it.  The car in question is Mauritiusblau Metallic, so my choices seem a bit limited to natural aluminum, and black krinkle finish.  Plus, as an added feature, I have Cosmoline all over the fucking engine bay.
