After completing the radiator shroud mods and the coolant catch can, it required some minor adjustments to the cold side intercooler piping. Andy wrapped it up and picked the perfect spot for the Tial Blow-off Valve. This thing is sick!

Now the world’s next big dilemma. What color powder coat for the new fab work? Andy suggests this Prismatic Cadillac Gray which looks pretty sweet with the color of the car and changes in the sun. Thoughts?

I’ll be anodizing the billet valve cover and intake blue like the waste gates. Still trying to decide on the compressor housing for the turbo.

This is some sweet fabrication, whole thread is a pure weld porn LOL
Absolutely love everything he made.
Considering you're going with anodized blue on some parts, I'd go with everything polished and clear coated. Scratches wouldn't be visible as much because there would be visible aluminum underneath, and would make blue pop up a little bit more. It would also show how beautifully everything was fabbed up.
Dark powder coat like shown above although shiny because of flakes, would make everything to melt together visually. Especially considering the car (and engine bay) is dark color too.
You can see in my thread how polished stuff looks in dark engine bay with some color accents.

Thank you. You make a solid point about everything blending together with dark colors. More to think about,

and Andy is a great fabricator and most of these parts are available on his website now.
 
It’s the small details that separate good builds from great builds. Andy decided to powder coat the Ravenfab water neck satin black and then pull the green radium sticker off the radiator cap and laser etch the pressure rating and “never open when hot”. Just for fun.
