  • Valve cover colour

    first off im from Canada, its spelled "colour"!!!

    now, i have a 89 pgt in sandalwood metallic, for those of you who dont know that colour its a golden silvery colour

    im gonna paint the valve cover and probably the heat shields, i dont wanna do black cuz its not original and i dont know what else would compliment the colour of my car

    i stood in the paint section of the local parts store for about 30min trying to decide what would look good, also im partially colour blind so it makes it just that much more difficult

    lets see some pics of what others have done!!

        i vote black or silver for a clean look but silver would look dirty pretty quick.

        optionally you could always get it powder coated in a gold color that closely matches the cars paint.

              if you go with chrome then "regularly" becomes daily. us ricers truly pay the price for our "bling"

                  the engine bay on the 93 is going to be streetfighter style... all black , other than the intake silicone's , and the plug wires if i ever get around to paying for some red wires...

                    Streetfighter style eh?

                    Didn't know engine bays had a stuntbike feel.

                              Wrinkle black works with most as well.
