Looks good Stewart, but a bit industrial. Looks like machinery grey?

Stewart, my personal race engine for years have greay and black and very industrial looking and that was the look i was going for. I like it, but that doesn't really mater, all that matters is you like it. That the neat thing about this hobby, we can stary from the flock if we desire to. My race egine always use the grey and black coltor scheme, I like using each part aginst another being a costrasting colr, meaning if the block was great the head was balc, the front engine plate would then be black against a grey block and the timing cover would be grey against the black engine palte, my secong engine would use the same clor scheme. but each compnenet would be opposite form the first as for color, and that made it easy for me to keep up with what part wnet with what engine

The grey also allows for oil leaks, etc to be tracked down a little easier.

I like the industrial look. Another color I like is the dark green that you see on some stationary engines.
