What color should I paint my valve cover?

[Shiroi_ms3]

Metallic gold. That is all.

The gold on the cover with the red/black theme would look really awesome.

phew... just finished. Now my IC cover, battery cover, ECU harness cover, and fuse box cover are all painted.

pics = 1000 words.

less talking, more pics

Okay okay! I like the silvery finish because that's sort of the theme I'm going for under the hood. Polished and black.

 

[Saskatchewan17]

Haha. Forgot to mention that I got new bolts for my IC cover... that's long long overdue.

 

[03MSP-JH]

i like how you added you name on there. nice!

 

[ΔΣxτΞr]

just wondering...why is there a cover for the IC?

 

[TheDoc]

Instead of a hood scoop there is a convoluted ducting system in the hood which centers around a large area that seals around that cover in order to more effectively get air to the intercooler.

Tyler....sorry I am not a fan. Maybe it looks better in person. In the pics it looks like primer.

 

[Suspect987]

You also should have used a stensil and a ruler for your lettering.

 

[Saskatchewan17]

It looks a bit "silvery-er" In person... I like it cause it brightens everything up under the hood. The lettering isn't supposed to be perfect; that's the point.

meh, not a fan. to each his own.

Not a fan of the colour choice, but looks like you did a pretty good job nonetheless. What did you use to cover the emblems to keep them black?

EDIT: Oh, and back on topic: Justin, I'd go with either a gold or just red with black lettering (either protegegarage or mazda or mazdaspeed, something like that).

Anna, that ATHF cover is amazing. Where DID you find it?

Gold and red look pretty nice together. Not like, chrome gold, a darker gold colour.

 

[NRRfrogmanP5]
