--- Which color is most effective … The shop doing the coating should be able to answer that one, or their supplier. The differences are most likely negligible.
--- Which color looks better … Now that's a bit more complicated. It comes down to what 'look' you are after and what you like. Best to think of it in terms of the whole motor, just to name some of the choices:
- What color block?
- Cast or stamped valve covers, painted or polished?
- Style and type of air cleaner?
- Color of distributor cap and wires?
- Polished or natural finish intake manifold or alternator?
- V belt or modern serpentine belt?
Take a look at Cobra Country, as there will be at least one motor photo with each ad. That might give you some ideas.
The list of choices and decisions just goes on and on, which is all part of the fun!
