gold looks good with darker color cars IMO. but other than that, gloss black or gunmetal gray FTW!

I used to have the wrinkle red paint but i just re-painted it to gold a few weeks ago. I am loving it. The bestestsststs Gold VC that i have seen is on Deuce's black sedan.

After looking at your album it looks like you're starting a black theme in your engine bay, so I'd recommend matte or gloss black.

black with the raised letters silver

Mine, just I never scraped the paint off the letters. I used black wrinkle and cooked it for the crinkle effect.

I would suggest coating the letters and logo with chapstick prior to painting, as it'll make removal even easier with less scraping.
