My new aluminum radiator is so flashy it makes the old radiator cap look very plain. I'm trying to decide on what color the new cap should be. I don't really want a chrome or natural aluminum cap because I want some contrast against the aluminum radiator. I was thinking of some anodized color. My '65 is red, but the engine compartment is black and the engine is blue.

If you are looking for contrast you cant get natural. If your engine bay is black... accent it by getting black since its not attached to the engine imo. Good luck with that.
