With all the red in there already I think doing it in red will be to much plus the inlet manifold will need to be done as well to make think look right. If your set on keeping the red pipe work black or some sort of dark crackle efect in my mind is the only thing that's going to look right. If you go with a different colour that's going to be like 5 colours in the bay.

You could go with the crackle effect and do a few small bits round the bay to match like the bottle tops and so on.

don't know the name of the paint, could be the crackle paint mentioned above. but I think a base layer of red then black "crackle paint" the stuff that cracks as it dries and would leave red lines, could look smart.

or get it polished up, then get paint, put on brush and pull the bristles back so that dods of paint come off and splat all over, do it in a few different colours including some fourescent. could look cool
