I've been thinking of doing my block gloss black, but unsure of colour to do the head and rocker, I don't want it tacky, If I could mange to clean the head up somewhat or just silver? but silver might look tacky?

Black all the things.

draws no attention.

I prefer to paint my block with old engine oil tbh. keeps all the water and rust off.
A moments silence please, for our brothers in the NAD-zone.

I did paint all of it. That was testing the water to see if it was any good. TBH its still on the block now even though its had derv/oil on it then degreaser'd off.

Shame the XUD has bits bolted to it so you can't see much.
