Stripped....

Before....

After...

Stripped the valvecover today for a repaint....not really sure what color i want to go with. I've been thinking of polishing it...or just a flat, textured black.

Opinions are welcome and appreciated.

Re: Stripped.... (burNT_ToasTB16)

I would polish it, if you plan on polishing other parts in the future (intake, block, dizzy, everything). Otherwise it makes all the non-polished stuff look that much dirtier.

If not i'd go with black... though i'm not a fan of the wrinkle.

Oh and i'd put the radiator cap back on too.

Come up with something completely origional. If you dont like it you could always strip and redo it.
