its going to chip and look like **** in a month...paint doesnt stick to alum. you need either powder coat...still tends to chip or anodize which is really expensive. i would just send it to a polish shop and have it buffed out. that would look sick.

I think it would be cool to get some custom made aluminum paint and paint the block to match the outside color of your car.

I don't mean to hijack this thread but does anyone have a pic of a black block w/ black tranny? Also what would you reccomend covering up when painting the transmission?

I'm not a huge fan of silver painted blocks, it looks super artificial. Black w/ a clear would be dope.

EDIT: A for effort though

black looks really good for my taste. I've seen it before. I should've done mine that way. This is what I did to mine:
