the first one is too...what's the word, it could be taken as a grimy job
the second color is to bright for me The third color would be the one if i was to go with blue. hope that helps --------------------  The most important lesson I learned from Karate-Dō Kyōshan – “You can not be what you do not believe you are” |

id say go with whatever matches your paint best.
most importantly, more than anything, its what YOU like. you of all people know that

of the pics you have up, I like the "shimmer candy blue."
But what about a chrome/silver look?? Like these:

[right][snapback]348767[/snapback][/right] i think they are the same, just the lighting  , i like this the best too phat, polished head with blue accents would look nice. but if you are set on blue head i like the shimmer candy blue the best, dont think its too bright.

I think I'm just going to polish my valve cover, and if anything paint it black or red. IMO blue just isnt an engine part color (plus it would look silly with my blue car). I think all my other heatshields etc are going to be a satin black soon, and my radiator silver.
