What color to do valve covers and surge tanks(pic)

So I'm going to powder coat VC and the surge tanks. Want opinions as to what color based on the intake and sc pulley colors. Sc pulley matches my calipers.

More GOLD!! Maybe more reflection film, but in a slightly different gold shade (do they make such a thing?).

Is the intake home assembled?

I don't think more gold would look well so since no other feedback I'll prob do a wrinkle black on both.

My first thought was black and the supercharger silver. With the colors you have the common red or yellow won't work. I like what you have done so far. More of the burnt orange may work also

Black tanks and SC. The AMG on the tanks in gold.

Problem solved.

This is what mine looked like. The gold reflects the Orange nicely.

I'm thinking VC in burnt copper like my calipers, tanks in wrinkle black and AMG logos either sanded to aluminum or also burnt copper. Started sanding the VC today with a die grinder and medium pad what a pain! But they do turn polished.
