I am going to paint the cam cover and the intake manifold on my 944S. The car is a slate grey color. Any suggestions, pics? I was thinking of a gunmetal grey color and have the porsche letters another color like black or red.

Here's the cam cover on my old S2 - which is what I drove when I lived in Valpo.

hard to beat the brilliance of red, especially on a grey car.

My old 968. Although I said I'll never do it again, I'll probably do something like this on the 951. If ain't fast enough chrome it....
In my case polish till your fingers bleed.

Sam, what color is that darked red. By far the best so far. Was it powdercoated?

Do you have any other accents on your car? If so maybe match them? I think that Yellow could actually work quite well. But Blue on Slate Grey metallic is also very nice.
