I have the motor out of my car right now. Im cleaning and polishing everything up to make it ready for a slew of car shows this year. I took engine degreaser and a wire brush on a drill to my block, and it cleaned up most of the rust and made a good surface to start with. I primed it a few coats, then I sprayed a paint called Iron/Block Cast. It looks better than it did, but I almost wonder if it doesnt flow. Anyone have any suggestions on colors for a block, specifically a 420A? Im thinking about going black but Im not sure. I was going to take pictures of it but I forgot, so I may post some up later and see what everyone thinks. But I saw a members pic of the block painted black and i think I like it better.

Black. Get grill paint in a rattle can, $9 and you will need 2 cans. Its high build and very tough.

Fuck yes on the grill paint. I used it on my block, and its still holding up strong.

I got it done today, but I didnt go grill paint route. Got dupli-color paint from autozone. Its a low gloss GM and Chrysler black. I think it came out awesome. I like it alot more than the cast it was painted. The tranny came out awesome too.

looks good man. soon ill be doing that too in a week. just used one can?
