Default WHAT COLOR! Powder Coating my Intake Manifold

Hey guys, i'm gonna powder coat my intake manifold, my last one came out really nice & i figured while this thing is all apart i may as well do it, it will make it much easier to clean for the summer & stay nice & shinny!

My problem is i'm having a hard time picking a color, watcha think?

Silver
Candy Red

ok, heres the start, when i got the intake manifold it was caked with hard oil all on the inside.. used like 3 cans of carb & choke cleaner & a long brush for the runners & what not, then soaked it in the parts cleaner & a bunch of other crap but it came out pretty clean. I've preped it for the powder coating so hers some pix..

You should do it Gunmetal. How much would that run if you decided to do that for people.

I'm not sure that the gun-metal would stand out very well in the engine bay. Being that my vehicle is also for show use, i'm kinda lookin for a little bit of flash under the hood. But i do have gun-metal powder in stock, maybe i'll do my fuel rail like that or something so that you guys can see how the color comes out.

As far as a price goes for it, i'm thinkin if you guys had it pretty well cleaned up before you sent it to me, i'd do 'em for bout 50

gunmetal would look bangin..


ive always felt that if you can show a judge, at a car show, attention to detail in which they would overlook..itd be brownie pts.

either way,
candy apple red would just be lookin for obvious attention.
silver would look good, but could look stock.
gunmetal is clean, looks good and stealthy.

i vote other.
