Painted Valve Cover?
I see the HHR guys are painting the valve covers:
http://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4371

Anyone here paint them on a 2.0?

That is awesome! Hey rallyyellow, if you're serious, I could give you a relatively worthless hand on that project!

I think it would be bad ass to powder coat them to match the car.

Here is what I have painted in my engine bay so far, nothing major, but until I have more dough (to get actual parts), here it is.

I would recommend powdercoating it as well. The powdercoating is goin to be a lot more durable then just some regular paint. Just a thought.
