Engine Powder Coating...Also Accent Color ??

[RandyMarsh303]

So the last couple of days I have been doing a little powder coating on some random parts trying to clean things up a bit. The parts below are coated with a 90% gloss black. Also have been looking at getting a grimmspeed pulley and of course I need to choose a color. I am wondering what peoples opinion is about an engine bay accent color. My BD is the darker forest green color so im thinking gold is out because all I can think about is money and "bling" anyone seen this combo before. At this point im leaning towards color for the pulleys, IM, and the heads maybe. With most everything else being this dark black. It would be cool to get people to post pics of what they have done for color so we can all get an idea of what really looks good.

Wiper arms, belt cover, fog light brackets, belt tensioner bracket, also have the radiator bracket blasted and ready to go. Depending on the weather next week I am going to do the Alternator shroud, a couple of other brackets, and maybe PS pump and bracket. Let me know what you think

Those look great! As for an accent color, I've never done it before (except on a chevy s10 with a 350 small block: red truck, chevy orange engine. Original I know)

For your color car, I wouldn't do anything bright, I would think a nice graphite/grey color would look nice. Darker than the OEM, but still looks clean.

Just my 2 pennies.

Your parts look nice! What are you using to powder coat them? I had bought a household oven to get started and due to insurance reasons and my landlord I had to get rid of it.
