    Valve cover color

    OPINIONS PLEASE!!;D

    I'm looking to paint my valve cover (m20) soon, and I was wondering what colors you guys would think goes good in there. the car itself is schwartz black, and I keep the bay as clean as possible, In fact this weekend while waiting for my throttle body to come back from a machine shop, I went over everything in there, and cleaned my intake with a wire brush.

    So what colors do you like? I've seen, and like, red and green but what do you guys like?

    also, pictures are great :popcorn:

    Black with sanded logo is classic looking on a valve cover. I think plain silver looks nice too.

      I agree with the plain silver. I've seen what rustoleum
      high-temp silver can do!

        I'll second the black with sanded/polished stripes and logo. I prefer a smoother black to a wrinkle finish, as well.

          There is a lot of charm to a freshly bead blasted valve cover. It looks new.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

              Send it to me and I will powder coat it any one of 2500 colors that you choose. Then you can back sand the stripes off or I can and then powder the stripes or leave em bare metal. When the world is full of color why go with boring , mundane black? There are so many variations of black as well. Just did a black with embeded sparkle on water connector tube . Turned out titties.
