    id paint it black or silver, or to match the engine, you dont see much except for the bell housing but you can really see it.

    Black would be my first vote then silver. I prefer black since if grease/oil gets on it I don't have to be in a rush to clean it versus silver.
    Squirrels are my engine. I need a Ford Regal

    Painting black can hide leaks etc.

    When given the choice..I stayed with stock aluminum no paint. Easy to maintain, never needs a touch up and the hood is closed.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
