Someone posted a beautiful photo of a Suby engine in a new Beck 550, and they had various parts powder coated in gold. My car is waiting to be built and I'm interested in what parts should be powder coated and would welcome photos or suggestions for colors.

I had some parts on mine (valve covers and other bits) painted Oslo blue to match the car. Others (intake manifold, etc.) were done in a contrasting gray, while the rest was in bare metal or black plastic. It looks nice. Ron Mullis, owner of the Blue Angels tribute 550, had his done in the same blue and yellow theme as the body of his car. Mike Fincher will probably build your engine and you can trust him to lead you through the process. He showed me pictures and color samples and is easy to work with.
Thanks Lane. Can you post a photo?

These are all great, thanks!
That gold is hideous imo.
Hopefully it's no one's on this site ....

Oh, man. That’s gorgeous Bruce. I really miss living in Las Vegas. I used to live about 10 blocks from a chrome plating/polishing place that did my Scrambler parts for me.

Yup, shiny is good ! Simplicity is too, when practical. Beautiful bike !...........Bruce
Here is how I had my suby engine done when Carey and the gang at Special Edition converted my Fiberfab Speedster to Suby power.

Each photo above is educational for me, and I'm sure others in the build queue that face this decision as part of their ordering process. Please show us what you chose for your car, thanks.
You could see if they could do something in a tartan plaid.
