Default Paint Brake booster to match bay or leave black?

I have a build thread, which is in my sig, for my 4 Dr Teg that I've done all sorts of crap to, the latest being a full shave and tuck on the bay.


Pic of the extremely cluttered bay.


Just after the bay was primed.


Only pic I have of my bay painted thats any good.


And while it was running before (W/Red GT3's)


And one of the last pics before I tore it down.

---------------------------------

So now ure all caught up on my car. My question is: When it comes to painting the bay, whats the opinion on painting the brake booster, as well as a few other things that are usually black, the same color as the bay?

I need HT's consensus because it doesn't matter to me.

I think it looks ok, but I prefer to leave stuff like that black.

Sometimes it looks a bit cheap when too many things are color matched.
