Need to repaint accessory brackets, need opinions

[Rjaaaaaa]

All the pics you guys posted look great...just not "factory" looking. I guess the right answer for a real factory look would be a greyish silver color, since they were just raw aluminum from the factory. I could have them glass bead blasted, which is what the breather lid is now, but the problem with that is that it doesn't stay that way for long and starts to tarnish quick. I do think eventually the valve covers are gonna be a satin silver or bare aluminum color, so that'll break up the "black mass" effect. The all black engines work for some cars but i don't think it'd work with my car. I think it's either a satin grey or black.

Rustoleum has a color called cast aluminum and it look great, did my brackets, valve covers and intake with it.

I'll either paint or powder coat some brackets and pulleys ect. Intake and VC's will get powder
