color the valve cover dark navy blue! the text on the valve cover should be left natural steel colored, to make it look a little oem.

I know of a guy that did his a copper-orange and polished the lettering. Or you could sand off the lettering and powder coat it.

Mine is wrinkle red. Looks fantastic with wrinkle paint.

^all the suggestions sound nice to me, as mlong as you machine the lettering. it'd look plain lame if you didnt.

It's steel. Aluminum isn't that heavy, plus if it was alum, you wouldn't be able to powdercoat it. Powdercoating only works on ferrous metals.

im pretty sure the valve cover is aluminum, and im also pretty sure anything that conducts electricity can be powder coated
ps i planned on leaving the writing on the valve cover unpainted
pps im probably goin with the red valve cover
ppps what is wrinkle red?
