I had thought about blue for the valve cover and front engine covers. The rest being black, might be a good look.

There's a local guy that does a lot of powder coating for miatas(Ride Rage Powder Coating) and the most popular is the red wrinkle with black letters.

Yes, I've thought about that as well. I think too much black might be a bad thing(<--racist?!?!) Unfortunately, the only powder coating shop here knows they are the only powder coating shop here. So they like to give me super awesome price quotes like 150-200 for just the intake manifold
WITH all the prep work done by me before hand.

I say go for a satin finish metallic look on the IM, anything else will look silly.

If it pleases the Brain, I will have him know that I will be getting the car on a dyno sometime this year, lol!
Satin finish is a big possibility, however, I think black would look great too.

You can buy a Powdercoating gun for <$200 and get an oven for free on Craigslist. Powder is cheap and plentiful. I set up my own in my garage and have been powdercoating the $#!* out of stuff. It easier to use than spraypaint IMO.
