Need some opinions

I just got two more pumps for my car ,they are just black on black pumps , they will eventually be candied to match the car ,but for the mean time i was thinking about painting them either white to match the paint on it now or green to match the interior. The trunk is painted black with a bunch of HOK green flake in it.What do you guys think,paint them or leave them black? I really dont want it looking cheap ,so give me some ideas please.

When are you planning on having them powder coated. If its soon I wouldnt do anything to them. Maybe an option would be leave them black, but hide them in the truck so they are not viewable...

It will be the first of the year before they get done.

if you want them to be showy.. match the interior...
if you want performance... leave them black.. black cools and disapates heat much better than paint or chrome!!!!

Thanks guys , I decided to leave them black for right now . I might get some chrome tanks for them here soon ,who knows , i change my mind every 30 minutes. The tanks are about all you can see anyways .

By the way Rick ,I plumbed it the way you suggested ,it looks alot better cause all you can see are the slowdowns now , the rest is hidden under the rear deck . Have to see if it works any better tomorrow after i finish it up.
