    Opinions on powdercoat

    Allright, so this summer I have a ported head, a6 runners, and an h23 plenum I'm putting on my car along with all the minor details that entail. I'm eventually going with an all black car when I get it repainted, but for now its pewter gray metallic, and my engine bay is going to be all black, red, and silver, and I have a wrinkle red powdercoated valve cover already.

    I'm getting the plenum and runners powdercoated before I put them on, so I want to know what you all think I should get as far as a color goes?

    Here's what I'm torn between:

    Light Silver(oem color)
    Dark Silver
    Graphine/Gray color
    Gloss black
    Satin black
    Flat black
    Some kind of red

    Keep in mind the runners and plenum don't have to be the same color.
    Heres a pic of the car and the bay to help out. Any feedback would be cool, and thanks in advance.

    There are no black and white suspension answers!!!!!!!!!!!

          Dark color has best heat dissipation, If it is a consern.

          And these would look best on YOUR CB IMO
          Light Silver(oem color)
          Dark Silver
          Graphine/Gray colo <<< first choice would look good in a metallic.
          or polished is good with black.

              there's so many other variations of those colors it's hard to decide. here's were we used to get our powders. maybe you will see another you like better.
