    Silver or Gunmetal. I think that would go good with the green.

    Personally.. after spending a lot of time and effort to paint things fairly stock colors, seeing a lot of guys do other schemes etc. My bays will always be however the part came color. Too much effort to be nice to stuff putting it together and trying to keep it clean/nice afterwards.

    If it can't be purple powered or Simple greened...it doesn't belong in my engine bay. But then..I don't show my cars and I only lift the hood to add washer fluid/oil changes etc. Never found a need to open it while driving to show it off.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I too agree that purple and green looks good....


    I just don't know how good it would look in the engine compartment.

    I used a website for this to match colors... I can't remember where.

    These aren't it, but it's an example of the tools out there.

    I like gold and black. I just feel there's not much of a correlation between that and the green. Black and gold are also my school colors :P lol

    Are you serious? Gold and black goes with green for sure. Silver, chrome and black is the safe pick and would look good also but id go with the gold.

    I just finished painting my bay, and after all the time and energy the project took, I just shudder at the idea of doing it any time soon. Lol.
