It really depends how clean it looks. A crinkle red (like Honda B18C5 valve covers) or a powdercoated black can be nice. But baby nursery blue, or lime green etc is just so over the top to me. I'm glad some folks enjoy it though. I have to say, this thread has inspired me to do crinkle black on mine.
lol, thats not baby nursery blue. it's just b/c of the flash on my camera. that is duplicolor ford racing blue. while i agree it is by no means dark blue, it is quite a bit darker than in my pics. i honestly think it a clash between the camera flash and the 3 coats of clear on top of the valve covers. that clear really reflects the light and makes it look lighter. but i would agree with you if i had painted it "baby nursury blue"...LMAO.

Yup that sure looks RICE to me?!?!?! Not even close. But I do find it funny how you call it ricey but then use a rice example of not being ricey. Really, get a clue.
