i've had mine red, then i just wanted a more stockish look so i went with a black wrinkle. But DOHC motors look good w/red valve covers, NOT SOHC IMO

go get a can of high temp gray spray paint like 6 bucks. then grab a can of clear metalic .. TAKE OFF valve cover.. spray the gray (let dry) and do another coat.. then (let dry) then spray the clear metalic over it.. i did mine and my gfs civics and it is so nice.. i did the valve cover, battery holder, radiator holder, and couple lil things..

Here's a thread on d-series.org where we posted up pictures of our engine bays. You'll see many photos of valve covers from which you'll get lots of ideas.
