Engine Tin Color
Well, I now have my engine and transaxle out going through a well needed cleaning preparing for my carb install.
My car is being stripped down for a respray/color change to Black. It was originally red. I need some help deciding on the color for my engine tins and shroud. I thought about black wrinkle finish, but with black interior and exterior, I would like to have some color in the engine bay. Any suggestions? Pics?

My car is black and so is my engine tin. Tin was powder coated and car soon to be re-painted... I would say paint the tin what you like because in the end you will have to be happy with the color choice, right?

One of the Plavan guys had his tin done in an off-white / flat-white color that looked awesome IMO. It really cleaned up the engine compartment.

White gets dirty easily. Light grey looks good and will brighten the engine bay, make it easy to find leaks and those pesky tools that get dropped.
