I had mine done in 555 Blue at Castle Coatings in Caerphilly, they didnt do a bad job.
If I remember correctly, it cost me about £30.
I'll get some phoo's later on.

You can get them painted in some very trick paint which glitters when the light hits it.
Not cheap at around £150, but having seen the results, well worth it and lasts well too.

Did you decide yet or waiting to see what the colours look like on the pipes ?

I don't envy you with the choice Rich
You got any colours in the engine bay on the go at the moment
Maybe your choice will also go with what you could get in the future for your other pipework (silicone) Coolant/water etc - or match up if you have a colour scheme theme already

Mine were blue when I bought the car.
But I never really liked the blue so while the engine was getting rebuilt I had them stripped and polished.

I would say that red, matt black or chrome would be a good finish.
