Just wondering what color is the best for the inside of the sight glass. This would include the backing plates that hold the spinner. Thanks

The casting is cast iron so I paint it cast iron gray. The disk is aluminum so I polish it. The spinners were originally red and green blades.

I know the spinners can be metal or green/red, but more interested in the best color for the backing plate and area behind sight glass.

Silver or polished will make spinner standout
