They are out of the car and peeling. Is there an opinion (dumb question!) about what color to refinish them with? Keep it stock? I'm thinking a light charcoal grey with red lettering. The car is guards red with grey/white interior. Thoughts?

 

There are many threads on this topic. Here are a few to get you started (and note that many of these have at least one post containing links to yet more threads!):

• paint colour for intake respray
• Another Feather Bronze Intake!
• Intake manifold color code
• Intake/Cam cover powder coat match HELP!
• Powder coating intake/cam covers/etc. best practices (for the zillionth time!)

 

Also, skimming the Show us under your hood! thread will give you plenty of examples to ponder.

 

Here is a picture of mine powder coated in Anthracite with black and burgundy lettering

Here is one I just had done in a "liquid Metal" look PC, I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

 

Heed all of the warnings about getting the inside fully cleaned out from any blast media, etc. There have been some real horror stories that have occurred if you don't.
