Message I'm in the process of doing an upper and lower plenum pull so everything on the top and the front of the engine are off.

I bought blue silicon hoses from Baker a few years ago which turned out to be purple, but since I wasn't doing anything else at the time, I just stuck with it, but now I think I'd like to replace them with real blue.

I'm also going to get the plenum, cas, and water manifolds polished.

What about other things?

Balance tube: paint or chrome?
Timing belt covers: leave black or paint?
Valve covers: Paint

What color schemes would work well on the pearl white? I wish I still had my bergundy twin turbo because that would be a no brainer.

My inclination currently is to paint the timing belt covers, valve covers, and balance tube a flat blue (although I've seen a metalic blue on the timing belt covers with a flat blue on the valve covers that looked very nice. I may also just leave the timing belt covers black.

At some point, when I can justify it, I'll probably replace all the boost pipes with polished aluminum.

Any thoughts, photos, ideas?

Thanks.

I'm tempted to go with blue
