Your engine doesn't need any fancy dressing!
I agree with you.
Flyingriki: your grey looks awesome!

I agree some more.
The engine lives most of its life under the cowl producing power, heat and performance. Original Lycoming grey looks best to me, even after it begins to leak a bit oil as it will in time.
Different strokes for different folks....engines dressed up in colors like they came from toys-r-us do not light my fire. But the effort probably helps sell engines at a gathering like OSH.
