orange will stick out like a sore thumb I vote black on most of the underhood stuff. I like a white engine bay on your car but I'm not the one cleaning it.Doing less with more

I was originally thinking a black engine with red brackets but I am not sure how that will look....Originally posted by ruckusz28 View PostCan't go wrong with black. Easy to keep clean!
Thats what I was thinking, the engine bay will be white, I am talking the engine block and brackets...Originally posted by DETROITMUSCLE View Postorange will stick out like a sore thumb I vote black on most of the underhood stuff.

EDIT: I guess I could do a different silver, or something for the brackets, wouldnt have to be red.Last edited by Darren; January 9th, 2013, 10:41 AM.sigpic

I went with a red block on mine. I needed something to break up the engine bay a bit, but kept the red at a minimum - just the block and valve covers. Everything else aluminum/silver or black

With a white bay, I'd probably go this route as well.Originally posted by kammi10 View Postblack block, silver brackets simple but yet clean looking
Maybe some red accents here and there (aka your MSD products
)

Yes I am leaning towards black block, I really dont want a orange one,Originally posted by JoeliusZ28 View PostX78 on a black block
Sorry Brian!
Nothing will be polished, I am not Brent here, I am thinking both silver and red powder coating on the accessories or some mix of them. But I did forget I will have red in there with the MSD parts. So I guess I need to get a red thats close to that color!Originally posted by TylerT/AZ28 View Postblack block, polished brackets, red accentssigpic

Edit: likely not seeing the pic of the bracket hanging on a wire, powder doesn't look like that when first applied. Does look like a new blast cabinet though.

Slowly getting everything prepped and ready to powder! Jon and I also chipped in and bought a sandblaster so we really mean business now!sigpic
