Valve cover color

[Majorcina]

I was thinking to paint my valve cover,it had upgradet coils (red)so i dont use "20 v turbo" cover
What u think guys which color would sit nice?

[rynaqui]

Depends on the colour of your car, on my silver car I had them painted a very nice looking grey colour (powder coated though)

[Majorcina]

The car is curently in paint shop,color of car will be Daytona grey

[SteveH]

Black or grey

[sidrick]

I went a kind of gun metal, which I think looks cool without being flashy.

[Error404]

Aluminium silver for subtle OEM stealth coolness

Daytona is a great choice for the car at least

I did Gunmetal. Against the chrome charge pipe and black Samcos it looks good.

Hi Tom, I have just looked in my album and dont appear to have any at the mo so I will try to take one and upload it over the next few days. I have the coil conversion so havent put the cover back on despite having it done with a polished 20valve logo

I had the powder coating all done before I realised the coils needed sorting so went for the upgrade

Why not machine some vents in the cover and space it so it sits higher and heat can get out.

Im goign to bud but time and money are all factors of why it hasnt been done so far lol. I was going to get Ish to sort it when i get the money together.

Hi,

There are some covers which replace the factory coil cover which allow cooling to the coils.... Have seen at least two version, nicely cut from stainless steel, take a look on German ebay

I am considering the conversion myself and did not like the idea of leaving the opening uncovered....

All of these can look good, dark grey,gun metal anodising a favorite of mine on a centrepin but think Stock OEM colour best and preferably Not painted but viper blasted for the factory freshness of 20 odd years ago.Nice:IMHO But have to admit some special finishes can look tastefull.

Impressive Engineering of the tool makers art,even the screws are handmade on this 100% handmade Centrepin
