A little to much free time!? Is this goofy or not

I painted a few items for under the hood. Now I'm wondering
If it's cool or just plain ugly. Anyone else paint their pulleys or brackets, different than normal engine bay colors?

My buddy said it looked like something from pimp my ride.
I figure the paint won't last, but the memory will. My 6 yr. Old
Supervised, and even left a finger print. It took all of 30 minutes.

OK, I will be the bad guy and say I think it looks, er, not so good. I'm a big fan of stock-looking finishes like satin black, zinc oxide, early chevy orange, etc.

I have to agree, I keep looking and thinking, it was only one beer?
Everything on the truck is stock looking, and it will remain that way.
I would still be wondering though if I hadn't done it. At least I get
to paint again. Lol
