Need help deciding color scheme on fuel rail covers

Just made some fuel rail covers and I need help with the color scheme. Here are some pics, let me know your opinion. I just can't decide...

The trans am sticker decal is brushed aluminum.





Please post pics if possible.


I was thinking either:
- Polished covers with brush aluminum "trans am"
- Gloss black covers with brush aluminum "trans am"

That paint is unreal! I know dupont made a crystal agent like that one but I thought they were the only one. I would like to know more about their stuff. Definately cool.

Re: Need help deciding color scheme on fuel rail covers

Sorry for the crappy pic quality, (my camera goes blind if I'm closer than 2 feet), but this is the stock mild steel tensioner pulley off an LT1 accessory bracket that I polished to a mirror and then coated with Duplicolor METALCAST Red:



They recently started making this paint in a "Smoke" color, which depending on how thick you lay it on can start off as sort've a gunmetal color that can progress all the way to black. Since your FRC's are polished like the pulley above, if you were to use the Metalcast Smoke you could make them look like they were black chromed. They would look similar to this:



You can get Metalcast at any auto parts store. If you decide you wanna try it make sure you get a can of adhesion promoter along with it.
