Eh ford blue is supposed to be the color, but that blue doesn't cut it I don't think. When I get around to painting stuff in my engine bay it's going to be powdercoated black or flat black. What color is your car?

I too am a fan of flat black in an engine bay.
Then again I have gone to great lengths to eliminate chrome from my engine bay.
I think it looks tacky on my car. (just my opinion)

If you are going to chrome it out, then it may look pretty good to match the block to the body color?
