Default Rocker Cover Colour???

I have an old rocker cover for a cosworth that is now stripped and was wanting to get it painted but im not sure which colour.

What colour do you all think is the best and any pictures of some of that have been done would be appreciated?

The car that it is for is a white 3 door, standard engine bay at the minute.

Also does anyone know what colour the paint is on the standard escort blue cover?

Thanks

Im afraid i dont mate but going on my friends one he has a white saf with white cover and looks wicked.

Also black and silver also really look good on white cars....

Either one will be a winner. if i was you though and you cant find a pic...

Just aerosol the cover to see which you like then once decided get it powder coated or professinally painted.
