Default I was looking at various pics of engine bling and.......

I need some ideas. I'd like to spruce up the engine bay a little by painting my engine, battery, coolant res covers, etc., but I need help deciding on a scheme.

Since I've got black, I could go glossy black, but what about highlights on the main cover? Or, does anyone else have any better ideas?

I'm also pondering sending the TTDA back in to have re-covered in stainless steel and maybe getting rid of the carbon BAMM and going with the ****.

What say you?

Default I'm not sure what everyone else has been using, but.....

I could go with automotive paint since I have a sprayer for my air compressor now, but when I did paint my headlight housings, the autoparts store had spray paints especially made for plastics.
