Powder Coat Color Suggestions?

[flaatr at yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

I'm a purest... If you want to coat the parts go for the cast aluminum and 
keep the "DOHC - 16v" blue.

My 2.0 is getting prepared for its drop. My closet full of parts are 
finally coming into use! I had my manifold sanded down, removing the 
casting marks, and then polished to a brushed finish... no Bling Bling.... 
the valve cover will be painted in a "Cast Aluminum" ceramic paint. The 
breather box, water flanges, oil flange, etc.... also are done in cast 
aluminum. The exhaust got a 1600 degree ceramic coat in an 'aluminum' color 
but is a bit too shiny to me... I was assured it will dull out after a few 
runs... I hope.

I like clean almost completely stock look.
