Default need engine pics schemes

i'm going to powdercoat a few items int he engine bay soon and need some ideas...

i was going to have the intake/waterpump/alt bracket/valve covers/air cleaner cover/ powder coated dark candy green....... think that's too much.... the rest of the bay is black.... may be adding some chrome here and there....

when i was building my engine for the first time almost two years ago i had the same idea and had my valve covers and intake powdercoated tiger silver and they match the polished aluminum pretty closely. and this picture was taken about six months ago and i never wiped down or washed the engine once. powdercoating is the best way to go.
