What color paint?

I've got a 64 that will be red and white. I'm painting the motor the same color red as the truck. What color would y'all paint your bell housing and transmissions? Aluminum, black or red would be my choices but lets hear your ideas.

Re: What color paint?

Might be too much red my friend, I would do the engine in orange and the trans in aluminum or a flat silver, contrast will make them pop IMO.

I painted my engine red but highlighted it with silver (the poor mans chrome) this provides enough contrast to make it pop IMO Kieth

Keith - What Brand of Red Paint did you use and what color do they call it? And I do like the contrast with the silver. Thanks Guys.
