The block in your link sure is purrdy ;)

Thats a good colour for a block IMO. I would do it that colour if I were painting mine.

John Deere green would look stellar as well.

John Deere green might be close. Later blocks are black. Oil pan and valve cover is always black.

My block is green, I'd guess it's original. I can barely see the block (too dirty) except were the coolant runs down the back of the block and washes it ::).

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.
