I do like the yello and as you say probably hard to keep clean, fortunately it's not a daily driver so shouldn't get to much road dirt just oil I guess.
I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of their engine colours in red engine bays?

If its not a daily driver I'd go for it. You regret the things you don't do more than what you do and its not impossible to repaint the block in situ if it starts looking at mess further down the line.I do like the yello and as you say probably hard to keep clean, fortunately it's not a daily driver so shouldn't get to much road dirt just oil I guess.

Yellow adds 11lbs of torque.Red adds 10bhp

Yellow shouts 998, not 1275

Montpelliervanman did his engine in a really nice shade of yellow, there's a pic on here but I can't find it just now.

Bit off topic, but.. most of the brush painted reds I've seen are to 'red' and glossy, that looks great, what did you use?
