I posted this in cosmetics, but no ones responding. My valve cover paint is chipping and I was going to paint it black again, but I wanted everyones opinion.

I painted mine black, but I guess that's nothing fancy. Made the engine look about 10 years newer I'm very glad I did it.

Re: What color would you paint your valvecover? (performula)

look into the metalcast colors by duplicote. They look kinda like anodizing. The base coat is a silver metallic and then you can go over it in blue/red/yellow. To be honest, i actually liked the look of the ground coat more than the blue on mine. I polised then taped off the writing on the valve cover. I think it looks pretty good. It goes well with my blue aem intake and blue power wiring for my stereo

Just get something that is high temp engine paint and you will be fine.
