Nice. I love the look that a color scheme like that adds to the engine bay.

Very nice... how did you do the fins on the valve cover and intake?  Grind them down after paint... or tape them off?  I painted my intake and want to paint those fins a difference color.

masking would be too much of a bitch and wouldnt end up beeing straight... no matter how hard you try... so i painted it... the sanded off with 80 grit to smooth it... then 160 for the brushed aluminum look, then i cleared over top
