Hi John,
The std beetle block is mag ally although there may be non mag cases out
there.Mag cases should definitely be painted as moisture dissolves magnesium
which gradually weakens the case. That's why mag wheels are always painted.
Possibly not an issue in El Paso.

I know almost everyone paints their blocks but it is not a good idea.The paint
helps retain heat in the block.

Hi Darren
If you decide to go ahead with removing the paint from your block can I
suggest you possibly look at sodablasting as an option.
This method was recently mentioned at our local SAA Chapter meeting (NZ
Sport Aircraft Association) and one of the members wrote an article for the
Chapter news
Do be careful when using soda blasting as it can be very destructive if used
in the wrong way, such as the thin aluminum skin of a Cessna 182.
After it was demonstrated taking paint off of a Diet Pepsi can, eyes lite up
and a purchase was made. After about two hours of blasting, a friend of
mine
Not to mention that is almost impossible to get all the soda out of the wings
and all other parts.
