Default what color to paint spare valve cover?

only requirement is that i'd rather the color be available in wrinkle paint form.

heres the newest pic of it:



and if this sparks your imagination a lil bit... sometime this year i want to get a Koyo radiator and some black Samco radiator hoses. (if that helps you decide... )

ive only added a few poll options

and also, yay or nay to shaving the DOHC VTEC off? remember this is a spare valve cover...

edit: do'h! forgot teh pic

Do they actually make a wrinkle paint in brown?
what brand of paint does wrinkle come in?

you can make wrinkle in any color you want all you have to do is spray the wrinkle first and then spray it with what every color you want after that you just have to put down light coats as usual

Polish it. Difficult to match the blue exterior with any colour, even more so when you put in the blue Samco hoses..
