Wanting to spray my power cap a different colour as it looks out of place in my engine bay.

Should I spray it black/grey like the plug cover& wheels or yellow like the rocker cover & car?

Opinions please

It'll only look tacky if you do it badly, it's' worth trying as it'd be about a 10th the cost of a new hose, if it looks shit, you've not lost a lot.
