Blue engine bay

I was polishing my valve covers , pulleys, air cleaner, etc yesterday, and when I stepped back to admire my work I noticed that my engine bay isnt looking so hot, I painted it all black last year and now its looking worn out, so I am trying to decide wether to clean it and paint it black again or to paint it blue which is the color of my car, I havent seen a nice looking blue engine bay so I was wondering if anyone has a pic of theres to help me decide, I appreciate it. Thanks

Ever thought of painting it high gloss black so that its all shiny? That is what I am thinking of doing.

Yeah , thats what I was going to do if I dont like the blue thing, I was just looking at some pics earlier and it seems that blue would look better with my chrome/red color scheme I have going under the hood of my car.Oh and I did the search you suggested 89cmrodriver and i couldnt find any good pictures.Thanks though.
