I don't want to make your choice any harder, but I believe your BOV is red. If you do everything in the bay some other color, I think my eyes would be drawn to the thing that stands out the most first...the red BOV.
Just something to think about...

I hate you...what does that mean? Do it all red? I was originally going to use red to draw the eye... You gotta give me a little more than that!
I just powdercoated mine with a "Silver Vein" powder that comes out like wrinkle black... but...lighter... lol. Anyway, here's a pic, if you haven't already taken the plunge. I did the valve cover and UICP to match.



I personally like to have everything looking the same. I just think it matches and flows better overall. I plan on getting my UICP and Intake done blue (AMS logo on the UICP maybe a silver) to match the car. I'm going to end up painting the red part of plastic engine cover either black or blue and my oil cap is already blue. That's just what I like. I'm not a fan of multicolored engine bays, although I've seen some that I've really liked. Depends on how and what is done.

Ok, so what exactly are you going to get done? Valve cover, Intake, UICP...are you going to get the strut bar ends done again as well? Perhaps we're thinking different things. That might give me a better idea of what you're going to do overall. Then maybe I can be a little more helpful.
