Default Help me decide...HELP!

Hey Guys, got a 2000 arctic white camaro Z28 with an SS hood. Body is completely white with the black mirrors, sail panel is gloss black as well as windows have been blacked out. So bottom half is white, top is black. Well motor is out right now, engine compartment is really dull white. Now do i repaint compartment White or Gloss/or Satin/dull Black? I think Gloss Black CAN'T DECIDE HELP!!!!!! Thanks.

dont do a satin black on the engine bay, youll hate yourself... ask me how i know very hard to keep looking good and clean... Id say either gloss white or gloss black, either will look good. Personally i wish id have color matched mine when I had the chance.

Gloss black or white will look good! Gloss white will not show as much imperfections/trash in the clear.

I think either would look good....mmm i love the blk wht contrast on the body. Ya i think the gloss would look a whole lot better. Masking everything off will be a whole lot better with the motor out for now. Anyone else have an opinion?

I was talking to my buddy, and he gave me a new perspective i did not think of. The origanal gloss white kinda gives the engine compartment that...CLEAN FACTOR! With the black wiring and hoses i think it would be great! I think white will be the color, thanks for the help!
