Powder Coat Color Suggestions?

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Raffi,
	I am leaning towards the 'cast aluminum' too.  As I mentioned in
my first post, this is the color I used for my 8V and it does look nice
and neat and of course stock.  Using a G60 valve cover and a Fox intake
also 'cleans' up the engine bay.

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.
