Default What color for this valve cover...somethin not ricey

Please feel free to add any other color options.

I want this valve cover so I can use some adjustable cam gears when I get them. right now I only have turbo .

I was thinking of adding some color to this valve cover, but I don't want it to be too flashy/ricey. Just a nice look to it. Also this is high temp paint (500*F). unless someone says I can I won't use regular paint. What do you guys think of this color? I think it's a little light, but if I put several coats it should work out pretty well. All opinions taken..thanks


UPDATE: This is how it looks now...what do you guys think?..honestly

Ok I think Black is looking like a good choice...red kinda isn't sticking with me...goes with nothing else on the car. Where can i get the high temp gold?

Is this what you guys are talkin about?
