Re: valve cover color (str8linek)
Just print a picture of the valve cover, then take it with you to the store and spray some paint on that paper. That's what my ghetto self does.

I actually drove it around like this for a long time till everyone started saying "that manifold looks like ****" over and over.. Then one day I pulled it out of my shed and decided to paint it and install it again. What's also weird is that I bought both exact engine high temp paints but just in different colors. One came out smooth and the other came out a perect small wrinkle cut but no where on the can did it say wrinkle cut.. Hey.. it worked out.
