Engine bay color?

Cant decided what color i want my engine bay pieces powder coated and i need to know fairly soon since i am taking my calipers to the Powder coater.

I wanted pearl white, however its not in stock and will cost a lot of money to bring in.

Any other thoughts? ill get pics of the engine bay soon. Sport red tint coat. chargepipe, intake, valve cover are getting powder coated

flames on a valve cover or engine pieces would look baller. people have a large bias against flames but when done correctly, like ghost flames, or realistic flames, they look baller

doesnt flake off on its own my friend. it needs help. but paint will hold up just fine, just dont go banging ratchets and tools against it and expect it to be fine
