You can use regular body paint on the block and such, just have to prime the surface first. It will not turn black, except around the exhaust ports, but you will probubly have alum heads that you won't paint anyway. It will be fine until gas and such deteriorate it, so don't leak all over it. Don't paint the aluminum timing cover and water pump, polish them or leave natural aluminum. Ideally, only the block and scattershield will get painted, the rest of a windsor is aluminum.
