paint under the hood

My engine is out and waiting for the trash truck while a new 350 is being built.

I cant decide what color to paint everything. Heres what it used to look like:
[edit] pics didnt work, go here http://www15.brinkster.com/bfspace/camaro/newcamaro.htm

Ive powerwashed once so far and all the teal paint is in great shape with zero rust so that will remain teal with the rest of the car.

Now what color should the engine, tranny, driveshaft and rear end be? I dont really want black all that much, so what would look good under there? I thought about chevy red, but that probably be a bit too bright wouldnt it.

Ideas?

Before I look at the pics, I wouldn't paint the tranny, rear end or driveshaft. For one, only one people would see is the rear end.
Also, any color besides black will show dirt/oil/grease easily, meaning a few more things you'd have clean.


access to those pics is denied.
