Default i want to paint my parts

hey guys. im thinking about painting some stuff under the hood.
spark plug cover
ignition pack covers
battery tie down
hood pole
brake/clutch caps
fuse cover. some other stuff i can't remember
anyway my car is SSM i was thinking either to do it a silver or a gunmetal. any thoughts or suggestions? colors?
i want to do this to keep the stuff clean under the hood. and to make it nice looking at the same time. whatever color i get i will also get an engine dress kit - closest match i can find. anyway tell me what you think. thanx

i think it will look nice if you prepare the parts and do a good job of painting them to match. but don't go crazy because then it will look ricey

i used some Rustoleum Sparkle black to paint my spark plug cover and fuse cover... i haven't gotten around to painting the rest of the bay stuff yet... i think it looks really good.
