Default Powdercoated intake manifold color poll: silver, gray, gloss black, flat black, red? <edited>
I am coating one &amp; am not sure what color to do it.

I also have orange, yellow &amp; white, but I don't think any of those would be good.

Please let me know what color you all think.

Thanks.

Here's some pics of my silver one:

silver, maybe gray. I think intake manifolds should have a metallic look

Black also collects heat, not the best idea for intake air handling

Default black doesnt collect heat it absorbs light which in turn creates heat...
something that is under the hood will not absorb light to create heat
