Has anyone painted/powdercoated there intake and valve covers gloss black? All black block with silver/chrome accessories. How would this look?

I've got the EFI Cobra valve covers (black with silver letter) and the Trick Flow Track Heat intake in black. Under the hodd, everything is black, clearcoated aluminum, or silver (frame is powder coated silver). I don't have everything together yet, but I set the upper intake on to see what it looks like, and it looks fantastic. The black upper intake also seems to disguise the injection a little so not everyone asks if it is from a mustang. Wish I had a digital so I could post pics.

My intake was black when I got it but I srtipped it and repainted it the same gloss black. I crinkle finished the EGR box to match the finish on the valve covers and glossed the TB.

I think the gloss black would show the dirt and dust alot and hard to keep clean! I used Harley Davidson black wrinkle finish engine paint to match the valve covers. I'm also told that you can powdercoat the wrinkle finish (a friend told me this after I had it painted and mounted)
