OK. I am doing a serious tune up on my car and want to clean up the engine and bay some also.
I seek opinions on what color should I paint my intake, as well as that fan shroud up front. Even if I clean the engine bay these parts look rough. So I am considering pulling these items and painting them. White would match obviously but would be tough to keep clean. By the way, I have new Red plug wires to go on it..so there is a little red under the hood to consider along with the white bay.
So, lets hear what ideas everyone has.

What it looks like now.

Nice, polish the intake and paint the shroud black
they make a paint for plastic it works great!!!!
I think you can buy it at walmart and home depot.
I used it on some plastic chairs last year and was thinking" this stuff is gonna chip off like all paint does on plastic" but someone even broke the leg and the paint did not chip, go get that stuff if your gonna paint plastic!!!!it does work go figure they actually made something that works....yeeeehaawwww
