Tranny color?

I am going to paint my tranny tomorrow. What do you usually paint it? I'm thinking either gray or black...(I have an orange engine).

Thanks

Were they originally painted from the factory? I wondered what color to paint my tranny and transfer case.

I think that the Aluminum color from a rattle can looks best.
Just make sure whatever color you use, make sure that it's really clean first.

Why not paint it orange also? What color is the truck? Aluminum color always looks good too.
