Help me decide . . .

[Red97v6Bird]

Alright to explain I'm going to be replacing my waterpump in a week or so and since I've got a nice pretty OEM gm waterpump I decide it would be a good time to paint it. I also might be taking care of my intake manifold leak depending on how frustrated I get with changing the waterpump, opti and installing long tube headers

Anyway what paint does everyone recommend, seems duplicolor is the most used, just curious if there is a better one?

And what color do you guys think I should go with?

Red and Black seem the most common but I kinda want something different (although I'm also going to be running OTVC red plug wires)

So post up . . What do you guys think???

P.S. Exterior is Black on my car

I'm a sucker for subtleness...black would be my vote. No wild colors for me...quite frankly, I'd leave everything stock and just clean/polish all that you can.

+1

I love subtle as well.

On a hot rod, I've always preferred ghost flames over in-your-face, bright red and yellow flames.

I'd go with black.

Another vote for Black. No crazy "Chunti" colors. Thats what we call tacky.

I'll take a different approach...or what I did.

I painted the stocker silver, almost like it looks unpainted, just shinier.


Then, I painted the cover to match the rest of my engine compartment, cobalt metallic blue. I used polished Stainless Steel bolts to dress it up nicely. Subtle, but just flashy enough for me to like.
