Default Painted Valve Covers, NBM car

Well I saw the post about painting valve covers so I thought I'd ***** mine out a little. I used a Blue high Heat Engine enamel on them, after one year they still look great. I'm wanting to do something with my intake and coil packs, don't know what though. Any idea's on some things I could do with the intake, coil packs and wiring harness? I thought about painting the intake Silver but I have no clue how that would look nor do I know exactly what type of paint to use. Critique my engine bay, what would you do?

Looks good!

This is my plan:

-Gray metallic FAST w/ red lettering
-Red coil packs
-Gray coil pack brackets
-Red valve covers w/ gray bolts
-Gray STB
-Red Speed Inc. Fuel rails


It should all tie into the theme

All I can say is Damn! That looks wicked, yeah I think I'm going with the metallic silver paint for the intake and maybe paint my coil packs the same. Do you know what type of paint I need to use? High Heat engine paint or just some regular spray paint? I noticed Jegs had some metallic silver VHT engine paint though, I might give that a try with some clear coat.

I'm pretty sure that you need to use the high-temp paint. I'll be using that.

You definitely can't go wrong with silver, or gray on an NBM car.

Let us know how it goes!
