Lightbulb Water pump color poll!

I can't decide what color to paint my water pump. Black or blue, blue or black, black then blue, or blue then back! These questions haunt me! Any feedback on this guys?

Black! .............. or ............... Blue!

Damn, this is such a close debate. I've had the same amount of people say black as they do blue. I wish I didn't have to paint it at all. The bare steel gun-metal-color looks cool.

It's lookin' good under the hood Opiewan.

What do you think about yellow? I figured I would give it a try; none of the Ford blues on the rest of the engine matched anyway.

A bit hard to see the water pump, but it's there in the pics at the bottom of the page.

I have a Jacobs ignition system on it. The coil for it is on the fender (note the five plug wires crossing the valve cover). Like most aftermarket electronics these days, I don't trust the Jacobs, so I left the original coil ready to go. Got the coil wire in the glove box.
