Leonard Catanzaro Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'm finally starting to put my car back together. 88 red Conguest TSI. Undecided on color to paint the block, maybe head also. Can I see what you guys have done? Thinking red, gold, silver or blue with black accessories. Thanks for your input!

hippynerd Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I like flat black. it hides the dirt, but you can stil find oil leaks when they happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwalkerancestery Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Black is too mainstream I paint all my blocks with this metallic blue engine paint by HVT (I think). I've got some pics somewhere of my 88 block painted that color and some from my 87. I'll see if I can find them and the paint code. - Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwalkerancestery Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 This is the stuff: http://www.amazon.com/VHT-SP403-Engine-Metallic-Titanium/dp/B00296D1HM Even though it has silver in the name, it comes out a light blue. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it including one from my NHRA Engine Machinist friend. This is what it looks like with polished/bare aluminum and black contrasting parts: http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u398/N1ghtWalker/Lisa%20-%2087%20Starion/Lisa%20Restore/Engine%20Rebuild/Photo12-20150325-1241139_zpsfauvkcec.jpg http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u398/N1ghtWalker/Lisa%20-%2087%20Starion/Lisa%20Restore/Engine%20Rebuild/imag0754_zpsg9hzwuus.jpg - Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwalkerancestery Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Just realized the link that posted up for the paint. I have NO idea where that came from. I posted one from Amazon, but it came up with...rakuten??? Anyway! This is the color. Same brand and line, but it's called Titanium Silver... http://www.amazon.com/VHT-SP403-Engine-Metallic-Titanium/dp/B00296D1HM Good luck and post some pics when done! - Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
