Help with valve cover color?
I have started to dress up the engine bay of my car now and i cant make up my mind on what to do about my valve cover, either paint it gloss black or finish polishing the spare i have, and i thinking of painting my intercooler pipes gloos black as well to match my charge pipe, here is how my engine bay looks now, http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...2143&albumId=0 any ideas are welcome

Mine is red powdercoated and then I left the aluminum spark plug cover factory. Looks great IMO really sets the enging compartment off. Although polished looks good too, I'm thinking about polishing up the factory one I took off as a spare. My .02.

Polish it! I have done several & They come out Awesome if you work at it & If you want Highlight is with Paint! Problem with Paint it will Chip & never match unless you redo it! Polihed if you get a chip you simply sand it out & repolish that Area!
I made a How to on Polishing if you need Help!
