Red or black
Ok need some advice from the corvette gods!!!!!!
I am trying to figure out whether to powder coat the front and side screens red or black. I know it's al about what you like, but I keep thinking about it and i'm not sure which would look better. The reason I am debating it is I saw alittle rust on one of them and instead of getting new ones I thought why not powder coat them too. So give me your feedback, don't really want to do silver again would rather go with one or the other. Thanks in advance Jason

Here you go!
What color are your wheels? You could match the color to those. I think that matching the screens to your turbo piping would look bad unless you're driving around with your hood off! Just my opinion.
It's kind of like matching your belt color to your shoes! You wouldn't wear a red belt with black shoes!
Good Luck!

They look fine just the way they are, but red would look gawdy.

If you are going to do it, go with black. Would look better IMO.

Did insurance cover you when the Space Shuttle crashed onto your hood?
