hi all, ive just recently finished cleaning up my engine bay, sandblasted n painted my inlet manifold and fuel rail cover, however when i put the cover back on it kinda hides all the hard work ive done

im thinking of painting my cover

Go for black Mikey, nothing too shiney though just subtle

Go for a contrast colour, could theme it if you are thinking of changing hoses as the same colour, or get a carbon fibre one.
