Default powder coating ?

I'm looking žo get some stuff powder coated on my engine... Timing cover valley cover, acc. Brackets, valve covers. What I started off originally thinking metallic silver but now I'm maybe thinking of some color. I was wanting to see some pics if anyone has any of different colors just to give an idea

Thanx,
Garrett

That was Mark's Sierra Denali and yes it was BAD ***! I know everyone has their personal taste and that is what gives us a variety, it just wouldn’t be very fun if everyone had exactly the same look or combination in general, but for me anyway, unless I were going for a show car look, I would take into account something that would be easy to care for (ease of cleaning) and still look nice. Mainly it needs to make you happy, but I’m sure you want everyone else to say damn that looks great as well.

Well I have been thinking about it and I may just get a 3piece engine cover and have all my brackes and stuff media blasted so they will all look brand new and just paint the timing cover and valley cover cuz you can't see hardly any of those two anyway... I just want somthing that looks simple and clean. I may get the engine cover painted but I know if I start powder coating it will be one thing after another then it will be getting stuff chromed to accent it
