I really liked some motors I've seen with black wrinkle coat for valve cover / coil cover / waste gate etc.  Not sure what I want to do with the intake however.  The bare aluminum/greasy smudges look is pass?.  Anyone have some different engine bay shots they might send along?  My car is the uber-rare green, so I've been avoiding red samcos etc and went with big blacks. Too much of a Christmas tree look ;-)  Looking to see what others have done in their engine bays and for what might look good.


Why not polished?  No, not touched by Paulie - that's a different
pronunciation, and the "p" is capitalized.  In contrast to a black
wrinkle-coated valve cover, and a black Samco IC->TB hose, it would
look really good.  Plus, you could do it yourself, or have it sent
out.

Nothing wrong with a little red in the engine bay, either.  Like the
wastegate cap.  Or the injector cover.  Something small, for contrast.
 You know, like Paulie's weenie in contrast to a pencil.  Or so I've
heard.  :-O

I did literally LOL at "uber-rare green."  Very nice.
