      If I go orange what the heck will I do everything else in and wouldnt it just look retarded when I opened the hood or is that just me?

        • 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.

            I was originally thinking a black engine with red brackets but I am not sure how that will look....

            Thats what I was thinking, the engine bay will be white, I am talking the engine block and brackets...

            EDIT: I guess I could do a different silver, or something for the brackets, wouldnt have to be red.

              • 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.

                      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, 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!

                                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.
                                Going back to this since no one really pressed the issue, it is powder coating and Jon and I are getting damn good at it



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