Talking Which PowderCoat Color is best for my Project?

I will be having someone PowderCoat the inside of my Spinner case.
What color would best suit my color theme for the case?

Outside of the case will be Candy Apple Red with Metal Flake

All Ideas are welcomed

I'm for the black interior too - vinyl dying cables/wires in a similar shade can camouflages those ones that you just can't hide

Not to mention it'll make the red stand out too

jakindle, I like the prismatic black... Just wish I could find a sleeving that would look good with it... Maybe I need to take a closer look at David_Vaini's color wheel thread...

T2, I would personally have reservations against either High Gloss or just plain Flat colors, but that might just be me...

High Gloss, IMO, would tend to show those wires/cables/whatever that you may have to try to hide, what with the reflectivity...

Flat, on the other hand, would do the same, if the sleeving (just as an example) were at all glossy...

Since both of them kind of cancel each other out, either or should work nicely for ya... Gloss Black would probably be my choice in the end (winning by a frog's hair), since the Spinner is blingin', why not the rest of the case as well?

AFA the poll, I think if you try to edit the original post, the option to add to a poll would be down the page, below the text box... I THINK...

HAHAHAHA Can a Mod please change the Poll Spelling to "PowderCoat" and take off PowerCoat.
And Add High Gloss White and White with Metal Flake.

Gold would be cool but wouldn't really work with the chrome spinners. It's got to fit the "Bling Factor". Silver would look too close to factory. I guess the High Gloss Black would be the choice! If you didn't have to Powder Coat, I'd run it down to a chrome shop and get the removable pieces chromed. Just my opinion. This is goiung to be awesome no matter what direction you go.
