Default Tired of black plastic: pass or fail?

So I got to looking at my engine and noticed it's mostly made of plastic and it started to **** me off that it's all black and bland.

Just wanted to know if anybody had opinions:

The first one is better quality but the color is off due to the flash, the second one is the right color but blurry.

im actually impressed, it looks very nice and im not very big on painting plastic, i know it may seem a little hard but if i were you id leave it the way it is now....i just noticed some wires running all over the place, i pray that you do not have led washer nozzles and maybe a wire tuck is in order

I've been meaning to tuck the wires but ran out of time.

The wires are to my LED eyelids. I have two other circuits ran from my dash switches for other options.

And, yes it's just self priming plastic paint.
