Engine Iron colour
While rebuilding my newly acquired mint condition 86 GX, I decided to pretty her up a tad.
The car is saphire blue metallic.
Should I paint my engine irons to match the car colour, or paint them gloss black?
I think either would look good. This while be matched to semi-polished aluminum parts.
I am also redoing my wiring harness in black, and putting on black silicone hoses. Ignition wires are brand new stock blue.

This way easy on my TII; my car was black.

My car is silver, however I wrapped my harness in black silicon tape, my wires are black, as are vac lines. So right now Im stripping down my bay, painting the engine bay itself flat black, as is all my motor parts Looks pimp IMO. About half done my manifolds n such, the engine keg should be done by cp racing soon, just gotta finish the engine bay itself. I hate stripping this **** out... I dont want to pull out the wiring harnesses, its not fun (havent ever tried the drivers side). Just going to bag those and hang them over the front sway or something.

It doesn;t matter which colour to me either way; I just want to appeal to the broadest audience.
