So I'm about to pull this damn motor to fix it and will definitely be painting it to look all nice and pretty, just not sure what I want to paint it.
I do have a few ideas though:
1. ALL black
2. black: block, valve covers, and blower; silver: accessories, heads, intake
3. old school Pontiac blue block, heads, and everything else black
4. same as 3 but everything else silver
Already have a silver/black thing going with the car right now
and for those who don't know, this blue:

Don't go blue. That blue is awesome on the old muscle cars, not so much on a 3800 W body.

I love that silver blue color, painted the BBC in my Goat like that to make people go. But I'm not sure what it would look like on a GP. To me it would depend on the exterior color, ie. a black or blue GP would look hot with that but a red one not so much. What color is your car?

You dont have a pontiac in your car so dont paint it blue.
Its a buick.

Everything black, some small things silver, and a dark red blower.

My car is Galaxy silver so it's pretty light. And no red, that color only exists on the arrowhead.

If i had mine to do over, I'd do the S/C silver along with the TB. Valve covers and block black, heads silver.
