Paint it if you want, but its not going to make any difference of note on a street motor.

sounds like you made up your mind to paint it already, so why even ask others opinions?

I didn't know weather or not I should paint it at first or not until I read Demon's reply and a coupe others on here.
I figured they can't all be stupid.
If I remember correct, I think SHAGGY paints all his lifter gallys. Why would he keep doing that if it did harm to the engine?
The only point we all agreed upon was not to use regular paint.
I found out it could be done as long as the proper materials are used.
So, yeah, I am going to paint it.
