Pink

**actually why not stick with the oem black or polished? (inserting tech info here) there are some threads about painting valvecovers in many different colors/finishes. Even some good ones covering the wrinkle finish, search alittle you will find the info. Next time you may want to as ask "How" to paint the cover along with "what" cover. You may get moved to the appearance forum **

I would NOT paint it white. I have seen WAY to many painted that color and it does just not look right.
With the white car your options for colors vary. Red is allways a great accent color. you can get a CAI, pullies, yada, yada, yada in those colors. That way everything matches.
I would keep the VC black. Unless you want to chrome it. But that is $$. Polishing if done well looks GREAT! but let me tell you don't expect it to be done over night! I have over 10 hrs into the H22 VC that i'm polishing.
Good luck
