what color should I paint my valve cover?

I'm about to buy another valve cover for my H22 and get it painted a nice and cool color. I need help deciding.
btw current one looks like this.

1- Glossy Red

2. - Black Chrome

3. - Black Chrome with painted DOHC VTEC

4. - Wrinkle Red

5. - Graphite Grey

Personally, I have always been a fan of glossy red.

That doesn't really look black chrome but the glossy red is nice.

glossy valve covers just look out of place to me, just my opinion though, id do a flatter color.

Agreed.

However. Before you paint your valve cover and ****, how bout you take some Simple Green to the colony of shitmonsters growing in your engine bay. Christ, son, how do you look at that engine and not clean around it once in a while?
