What color should I powdercoat?

Hey guys I recently crashed my M8 and wrecked the tunnel/bulkhead. I got a new (used) one and I am thinking about powdercoating it. I am going to do the 09 conversion on the rear end and a few other things. I was thinking about an orange tunnel/bulkhead with black edges, bumper and no snows. Or a black tunnel with orange trim? I was also thinking Black rails and front a arms with orange spindles. Does anyone have pics of their powdercoated sleds? Has anyone done an orange tunnel? I am afraid it might be a little overboard.

Here is what the sled looked like before the crash....

I think a black tunnel with orange running board edges, sno eliminators, and orange bumper would look nice and then do your a arms like you mentioned. Heres what i did to my suspension and a arms. Hope this helps

I think black would look good. I think you might have a hard time matching the orange powder coat with the rest of the sled. I have a M8 nightfire that has a black powder coated tunnel. Your sled already has some black on it.
 
Here's my buddy Adam's(Bart0678 on here) M8 that we built this year. I wasn't sure about the orange but I think it turned out pretty good.

Keep them coming guys! I will have no problem matching the powdercoat being the place I will have my powder coating done does all of the coatings for cat.

The Black does look nice, but I think the orange could be wild enough to look sweet
 
Get a different hood (aftermarket, Mtn Fit are awesome) and change the whole scheme. I picked up a 2010 M8 162 SP a month ago and I cannot wait to change the color scheme. Think I am going to go all black, but I may have to do a few things purple, maybe the suspension. I am not an orange person at all. I may get a white hood too, change back and forth to stir things up. Don't limit yourself to black, white, and/or orange.
