Default Engine Paint
Does anyone have any suggestions for a high temp engine paint that looks like raw, as cast, satin, unpolished aluminum? I don't want polished, shiny, metallic, etc. I'm building an FE w/alum intake, heads, water pump, ceramic headers, etc., and I'm trying to decide whether to paint the block black, or make it look like an alum block. I'm not trying to pass it off as an alum block or fool anyone, just thinking of having contrasting alum color on the block and all the bolt on parts.

Any pro's/con's on shedding heat? Black vs. alum?

comments & suggestions appreciated.

thanks,
