Default powdercoating and painting

Does anybody have any pictures of parts that they have painted or powder coated for accent pieces or just for better protection. like springs, coils, driveshafts, front and rear ends, motor, ect.? i am wanting to powdercoat and paint everything i can but i don't know how much is too much or whatever. i have a maroon cherokee that i think i might accent with the tan in the pic. and my comanche will be painted back to the stock dark blue metallic and i know the rims will be powdercoated in the silver/grey metallic. also might try the blue hammertone powdercoat. any suggestions on what to get done?

I painted my rear diff cover to match my front arb cover, I really like how it made the diff guard stand out. When I was younger I painted some of my CJ-5s parts very bright colors, I out grew that and now it seems silly. I would recommend sticking to one accent color.

I probably will go with just one accent color. Probably won't use the hammered blue. And all the powdercoating will be free cuz it's done where I work. The only problem is finding time to get it done. They can even make custom colors too. Perks of working in a multi million dollar fab/production welding shop.
