Engine Beautification

Well i decided to polish and paint a few things but i need some help deciding how to finish it...
#1 polish entire s/c and valve cover and paint the covers balck w/ silver lettering
#2 polish fins/paint s/c black and do the valve cover two tone polished/black (if i do this it will be the entire s/c black NOT like the pic
#3 some other combonation
heres a few pics of the progress so far... i had a lil fun w/ the eletirical tape seeing what it would look like w/ some black on there... so what do you guys think? i will post more pics as i go.

thanks but the s/c is just so damn hard to polish lol... plus i think the black would go very well w/ my theme... it will probably end up being, polished valve cover and black/polished s/c, im not to positive what im going to do w/ the covers yet though.
