Message ~~If anyone has a polished plenum I will buy it right now~~

Ok so I am getting the car built as we speak and I am wanting to make my engine bay a lil prettier. Already I have like a gunmetal high heat paint on my plenum from Wayne the previous owner and a black/red plenum cover with chrome hardpipes. It looks pretty cool already nothing special at all really.

I love most of the stuff I see but it is usually always Black/Red/Chrome scheme. Which looks great dont get me wrong but I hate to post something that looks so much like someone else's ride.

I was thinking of coloring my plenum bronze to match my D5Rs and going with like charcoal hardpipes on an engine bay painted black and the car with a fresh coat of Arctic White Pearl.

I have a few questions. I read about some of the high heat paints failing and the chemicals acting all weird and seeping through or something. So that is a concern with high heat paint. But I have some type of paint on my plenum now and it has looked fine for years I guess.

And my knowledge is limited as far as the capabilities of powdercoating. How do you chose a color for powdercoating? Is there a website?

Which do you think would be a better option for a shiny smooth bronze color to match the wheels?

I honestly dont know. I have searched a little but not much came up with my search terms.

Here it is now with the plenum painted its hard to tell in this picture. The paint actually looks good and everything but it is textured:
