Vito,
I dont know the answer but would hope that a judge would not mark off because
the nuts were painted or not as long as they were clean. After all it is an
engine. I always paint all nuts, bolts, washers the applicable color. Black
for all engine hardware with the exception of the valve cover nuts, they are
polished stainless steel. Looks good against the chrome cover.

For the water pump, and thermostat housing I use Blue Max.
