Paint it orange!

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

Orange and blue just don't go together. Paint the engine the same color as the truck or a neutral color like black, silver, grey, or even red would go nice with orange but not blue!:lol

Paint it blue if you think you'll like it. You look under the hood more than anyone else so what important is feeling good when you pop the hood and look into your engine bay.;)

ORANGE... GM blue is too light, if it were to be blue, ford dark blue would be best... just throw the cans in the neighbor's trash to hide your shame afterwords.

Blue belongs on the Fords, not on the Chevy's.
