Engine bay colors

[Bigmike4g63t]

Just wondering what you guys think about 2 different colors that I'm trying to choose between. When putting the car back together I will be media blasting and powder coating what I can. The red color will be as close as I can find to my car color. Black will be another color and then either bronze or chrome.

Match body colour.
Different coloured bays look weird unless they're black

Majority would be the red and black. Small pieces here and there the chrome or bronze. Like small brackets.

Well, I will have stainless fuel lines so I may go with the chrome accent pieces scattered around .

I lose interest when someone talks chrome
Red and black would be my vote but I'm also all over the place depending on where I get my parts. I have not color coordinated a damn thing.

I have two different shades of red/blue AN since they're from two different manufacturers, my bov is black, my wg is blue, my fuel filter is red, my valve cover is bare aluminum.. need i say more

I had a hard enough time finding some of this shit for a good enough price so I just consider myself lucky to have it at all.

Chrome, polished aluminum, pretty much the same thing. Catch cans are polished aluminum, intercooler pipes as well I believe. Thye are still in the box unopened. I'm not sure if there is paint around that shade. I have not looked hard yet. I had forgotten about those when even thinking about this part. They do have the red and black AN fittings. Guess we will see if it looks like a hot mess or not.....

+1 for matching body color

I’ve always liked brushed aluminum and wrinkle black in the bays with zinc coated hardware.

Wrinkle anything catches and holds dirt and grime horribly.
It was a pain to keep my old vc clean but some people like to do that sort of thing.
