Plenum colour, please help decide!

[Typhoon90]

 I pulled the rocker covers to adjust the clearances and decided to give them a coat of paint, so now the plenum looks really bad!
I was thinking of getting the plenum bead blasted and clear coating it, would give it a bright cast sort of look.
I know it's purely cosmetic, but it costs bugger all to do this stuff and why not, when the chance presents itself? I want to replace the plenum to head hoses, so when it's off I may as well do something about it.
Suggestions please?


Regards, Andrew.

Give it a nice coat of PPG white, same colour as the 90 and three coats of PPG clear over the top, it will look ninetytastic!!!
And maybe paint in the 6C red to go with the covers

I like the Red rocker covers, especially how you have polished ALFA ROMEO. So my suggestion would be to do the same to the plenum, paint it red and polish the 6C.

Or you could paint it silver with the 6C in red or black/charcoal with the 6C polished.
I like the red rocker covers makes it look like a factory hot rod special
Maybe try to Photoshop it to get an idea on plenum colour

Gotta be the same colour as the valve covers.  I went for black crinkle.

Goddammit! I didn't know the bonnets did that with the hinges! That would've saved me a LOT of hassle! My Volvo can tilt to vertical, I didn't even check to see if the Alfa would.
I think red is a winner, so I will also buy red manifold to plenum hoses too I think!
Paul, I'm trying REALLY hard to get the Alfa on the track, I have been severely stuffed around getting caliper rebuild kits, lines and pads, never had such a run of troubles! But it's all coming together now.
I also handed in two weeks notice at work last week, so the holiday pay I'm owed will pay for some nice shocks, springs and probably a nice seat too.

[pep105]

Yeah I agree, black crinkle plenum polished ridges & 6C & it's different colour to rocker covers - nice
but what do I know Ive only got a 4 banger alfa twin cam/nord/balbiero you know that donk there.........

[ANG156]

i like the OE look. Get it water blasted and it will turn out awesome. On the other hand red does make it go faster...

[minipete]

I vote for red too.

[spieret]

I vote for gloss black with red on the stripes and lettering
