Paint on motors?
I'm wanting to paint my intakes red and my EFI red. What I'm worried about is overtime the paint discoloring and turning a chalky white. It's the only color I'm going to have on the motors since the heads are aluminum and the valve covers are aluminum. My guy that's putting it together does not want color he wants me to go back black. Do you think the color will look like crap after two years on the intake and EFI?

I would think the prep and paint used would dictate the overall outcome of the project. If the valve covers are finned I'd toss some red in the grooves to tie everything together.
