Engine Bay Paint Color.
Any good body men will tell you the engine bay matches the body color but with 50year old cars there are no rules mine was black primer for 30 years only because it was easy to do, and I had no idea what color the car would end up. After finally having the right guy and money it is now mango tango copper #3 and it is mesmerizing to look at. My hood is high gloss black with a bunch of clear coats on it so it really shines I do have a black truck and i have washed it twice in the same day it is impossible to keep clean my buddy has a plum crazy Cuda and it is very cool... the black does look good on that car and is probably a lot less expensive this paint was $850 per gallon.
