Which colour should I paint valve cover?
Planning on painting my valve cover this weekend and honestly can't decide on a colour. I am planning to paint it with the wrinkle paint from Performance Improvements to give it more of a rough finish.

Here's a pic of the engine bay and of the car, vote and tell me what u guys think:

Would not paint it red. Its like saying "my car is fast". Well that's just my opinion. Plus its been done millions of times. Do it dark gray or black. Clean and not flashy.

Everything else on your car is black, so I say just stick to it.
