Default 2wd Inlet Manifold, Which Colour??

After replacing my 2wd Inlet Manifold with a 4x4 item Im gonna powder coat my old one and stick it on EBAY. My only problem is which colour to coat it??

I have in stock:

Black
Blue
Red
Silver

Which do you reckon would sell easiest as I assume most people would want a better flowing 4x4 item?

Here's my 2 tone 4x4 one (The rest of the bay is a bit messy lol):



Before I put the black on:

bit more of a neutral colour that will suit a wider audience (almost factory - ish!)

Moonstone Steve, every one counts mate. Im not looking to sell on here, just want what people think will sell best. I probably will not even advertise the manifold on here when its done lol

Costina, It will be sand blasted before hand, but this removed all paint and leaves a dull grey finish?? How do you mean "Blast"?

Think he means to be like a factory finish m8, could be wrong though.

Moonstone Steve, I haven't seen a recent email mate. Send me another one over

and with sand blasting it removes all paint and turns the metal to a dull grey colour. You would need to coat it to make it look any good
