painting truck engines

What do you men with "large"??? 1/24 scale?

Paint the engine in its real color, and after apply some dry brush.

All depends on the brand of engine Most Macks are gold,Cat yellow,Detroit Diesel kinda teal greenish cummins a tannish color, gas also depends on brand Ford blue,Chevy orange etc..... that and a good wash for oil leaks common on Detroits lol...Hope that helps some anyother questions let me know as I'm a auto/diesel mechanic (when I was working)....
