I like the idea of yellow, even though I have red myself.

I had mine done silver....only to give it some protection (while the engine was being rebuilt). Having it painted a fancy colour is only of use to those who spend more time looking at their engine than using it.

Yeah!
(Though a bit harsh to add that 'only' part, Box.)

Here's to bone-stock silver(ish)!...
...the lazy -- ahhh, lazier man's color choice.

I think I'm leaning towards silver. I love the gloss silver at #17 and the super clean look above. Colour matching the plug leads is a nice touch.
