Engine Color enigma

[Enrique Claure <spaninc@mail.entelnet.bo>]

After reading all of the color dilema people go about to make the thing
original here is another mistery. After cold tanking my block that happens
to be an 18V and looked black to me, I noticed that the black paint was
comming of and to my amazement below was...yes! Maroon! Go figure? these
nutty brits! So know I ask should I paint black or Maroon... giggle :-)
