Alright guys I plan on painting my valve cover very soon and I can't decide on some colors. My car is black and my intake is chrome. Please if you have any suggestions, shoot them this way.

Thanks in advance.

Cal it rice, but I saw a nice orange/gold cover on here a while back that looked sweet....


I like a good looking valve cover, trying to get the letters SOCH TURBO cnc'd into the top if my existing one

Polish your valve cover and it will go well with the black. Otherwise just paint it black. Just my opinion. They also have some cool metallic looking paints that are out.

I'd go with a flat black


I personally am doing "ford red" *shudder*, yea yea, flame away, it looks nice on my block and head....so I'm going to just match the valve cover.

lol. good ol ford red. no flaming here. whatever floats your boat. I like just the bare metal when its polished on the valve cover. The head and block can clean up nicely too without paint.

I was thinking about the polished look. My friend has it in her SOHC and it looks hella clean. If I find a pic I will post it.

Anymore Suggestions?

Well "compakt" and myself started sanding it down today. I wish I had my digi I would show the work in progress, it already looks a hundred times better. I will get pics of it when it is finished tomorrow.
