What color to paint engine parts?
My car is copper brown metallic.
 Which color should I choose for the engine parts - shroud, blades and upper valve covers?

I use 1962 356 Ruby Red.. it's blood Red compared to a Guards Red that tilts toward orange.

I think a deep brown would be nice on that car - be different! That Ruby Red is very nice!

Yeah, I'm liking that Ruby Red as well but brown is cool too. Still thinking I'd like the blades to be red. I guess I'll end up with a rainbow of colors in the engine compartment!

For my car I would have picked blue, same as the exterior color of my 87 cab, but for your car I would go Silver.
