whats the best thing to use to paint the block?

cheers

Mine is being painted with normal car paint!

And steam/water and WD40/brake cleaner for outside. Becareful with the machined bits though, spray em with some WD or they'll start to rust fairly quickly.

 

I blasted my block with glass and powdercoated it. Strong paint and looks good i think.
