Default I'm board, so what color?

I just sand blasted my longtube headers last night and i want to repaint them... what color should i go with this time? I went with the aluminum last time and it looked alright i guess. Now i have a black engine bay and i am going to fressen up everything....or should i have them powder coated?

The real reason to have something Jet-Hot coated is to keep things cooler. It's a ceramic coating that is put on. Think of it as like header wrap without the actually wrap. But they do polish them up REAL nice. Looks like polished aluminum.
