Default What color should I paint the rest of my motor?

well here's some pics of my 6.0..everything is just "mocked up" for now..i have some aftermarket blue fuel rails and fuel pressure regulator coming, but along with my metallic silver ls1 intake and coil brackets, i was thinking of painting the throttle body gloss black, painting the accessory bracket, water pump and timing cover metallic silver, and painting the block black and leaving the heads the way they are now..

i was just wondering what others' opinions are..
Here's the link to the engine pics..scroll to the bottom of the page.

My vote is for gloss black as well. Dont do any bright colors! Make it look clean IMO.
