Default Firewall Color

Ok, I have smoothed my firewall and will be priming after I get done with this. What are you guys opinions on the color? I am stuck. Paint it satin black or paint it and the inner fenders body color, for those who are new the color will be Switchblade Silver. Its a factory 2011ish color used on Escalades and Camaros.

I went semigloss black, as I prefer black. I think body color looks more factory, and also more high end, but especially with lighter colors it's so hard to keep it looking that clean with a daily driver. After a few years they start accumulating dirt and oils in hard to clean places and then it shows it's age. With black it just doesn't show as much.

This is true as well, but if its not a daily driver then that wouldn't matter!
