Engine compartment cosmetics

Looking to add some color to my engine compartment.

Any suggestions?

Lots of things you can do, but first, what sort of car is it?

Well the most common trick on Honda's is painting the valve cover.
Either the whole cover, or the strip that covers the spark plugs on the twin cam models.

Do you have theme, or concept in mind?
Usually you would use a colour that matches other elements in the car, or other modifications you have done.

I certainly want to have some kind of theme. I was thinking either red or black or silver and blue. What are some other good color combinations? Im not really into tacky colors. I pretty much just like blue, silver, black, ehite, and blue. But for my engine compartment I plan on having everything one color other than black.
