Ok, if you could have your valve cover powdercoated any color what color would you choose. Consider all color options come with polished lettering.
 
It's red right now (it's a JDM engine), but if I were to "rice up" the engine bay, I'd probably do a black and white scheme, and since the engine block is already black, I could make the valve cover white. But then I'd want to paint my car black, as well.
 
mines white right now with raised letters but i think you should only do white if youre like me and keep your engine bay cleaner than the rest of your car. ( i said your a lot didnt i?)
I plan on shaving it and polishing it soon though...
 
Mine is orange and my car is the polo green looks pretty good

Got any pictures up somewhere? (link?)
Sounds sexy
 
Yeah, check in his gallery. And yes that does look good.
 
there's some pretty rice polished chrome valve covers on ebay right now. i myself would rather have a dark blue one just because i'm going with a blue color scheme thing... right now it's red and it looks pretty good imo. :thumb:
 
WOW. everyone likes red and black, now between red and black. which would everyone rather have?
 
most people with red cars would want red, most with black would want black.... this is kind of a pointless poll. obviously if your car is green you dont want a blue valve cover.. its pretty much based on your car color, or black/chrome goes with anything
 
yea, i wish i would have put chrome in the options
 
hey what the hell, heres some pics I used when deciding.

I call these the "nuetral" colors.....work regardless the car color

I went with a "chrome"/silver powdercoat. I Really like a clean black one too w/ polished letters.

-- 1st one "chrome/silver" (what I got except w/ polished letters)
