What colour should I paint my Valve cover???
I want to paint my valve cover this weekend, but don't know what colour I should paint it.
here are a few pix of my car:
I was thinking of painting it a Pheonix Yellow, or a bright yellow, just to stand out on the teal car.
what colour would you guys suggest that I paint my vavle cover???
thanks

LoL...I think a yellow like the Spoon Yellow or Red will do. Any other color is just too much bling...especially ***** pink.

Red would be nice, but have it like a krinkle red,
Jun Style would be cool, but I was just thinking of doing it all yellow...
Painting a SOHC valve cover sucks, nobody does up SOHC engines

I disagree. I've seen 3 separate cars dyno with three different color valve covers. The Red ones seem to dyno higher.

don't listen to all these people, you can still make your engine look nice. i would suggest a red or black! You can also get the krinkle paint and then paint the color over it, unless you want to leave it black. I would use high temp engine paint btw!

Exactly. But if I were you I would prolly start "dressing up" the engine later.
