they are both equally nice!! what kinda paint did you use? brand? and could it be found at a local auto store. did you just spray over the top of the oem wrinkle paint surface or did the paint come like that?

I like the gun metal in that engine bay. I think that gold may look a bit much the way the engine bay is now.
ya,,, how did u do letters? The gold looks like powder coating.

thanks for all the replies. the way i painted it, i stripped the original black paint with some aircraft remover, and sprayed light, even coats from a distance.
the 1st color is called "cast iron" made by DupliColor Engine Enamel. you can find it at any autoparts store.
the 2nd color is a combination of Gold and the Cast Iron.
thanks.

But, I'd say the goldish one. Don't know why, just seems like a better color - stands out.
