If you're going to keep the CF under the hood....maybe a Gunmetal? You can also do high metallic silvers as well. If not...black is always a safe bet.

I just had a great experience with House of Powdercoating.

Very nice and clean. I like this bay a lot. Colors look good and flow, little carbon accents are nice as well.
