How do you match kits to timbers ?

As it says really, I'm curious as to how people decide which timber to match to which kits ?

Is it just a personal choice or do some kits work better with certain timbers ?

As a newb I'm overwhelmed with the choice of kits and plating colours out there and don't even get me started on the timber, I have a list as long as my leg of stuff I'd like to try.

So I'd appreciate if you'd share your thought process when marrying the two together.

The only two platings I have tried are gold and chrome so I just match them to what I like
