Need help/advice/ideas 're-decorating' & cleaning up my engine bay...

Damn 90 second post limit, lost my message

I've got a spun bearing, so the engine is out right now. Not much better to do, might as well pretty things up under there...

Here's the car color for reference. Chamaleon blue/green:

OK I have a couple bigass wiring harness'. They're in black loom, and I want a different color. You've seen the color of my car, it's a blue/green. I want to re-loom it since most are cracked, have oil and everything else in them etc. To be honest, I think of all colors YELLOW would look nice and contrasting with the color of my car, but ricers have kinda killed it. Not ruling it out though.

I'd also like to do somet hing with my intake. POlished would be nice, but I don't have that patience I don't think, I'm not sure. Another option is to paint it, then polish the high spots.

I want to paint the Valve covers too, since they're a dull black and kinda faded, and a tad rust in a spot or 2.

I have a bigass bracket that I need to try and do something with as well:

I'm going to most likely get "over the valve cover" spark plug wires this time w/ real headers.

Any other suggestions you may have feel free!

Mainly the loom color, the intake, and valve covers.

Also, how about the block? I wouldn't mind having something other than "gray" on it

The biggest suggestion I could give you would be to check out this place...

They have the stuff to really dress up several parts of your engine compartment.

If you paint anything under your hood I think blue to green mystic would look sweet under there they sell it in cans now so you could do it yourself too

I think dupli color, they sell it in autozone and orielly's. It comes with a base coat, color, and clear coat all in one kit for like 19.99. I was gonna do my interior in it but I'm going a different way now.
