Ricers definately don't paint their blocks because they never have a block out of the car. Ricers paint their valve covers and stock intake boxes. Along with fuse boxes, battery tie downs, and radiator caps.

1200º high temp paint in Ceramic aluminum color. Looks real nice almost like a somewhat brushed/polished aluminum look.

I say go with clean look, or black. You are also limited in colors, because you need high heat paint. I vote black or clean.
