Default need some opinions here...

i am planning on taking off the valve covers and possibly the TB and painting. If this was your engine bay, what color would you paint them? I was thinking Ford Blue just cause that is a "classic" color for ford and it would match my Steeda Elbow. OR, would you swap out the Elbow rubber and paint it a different color???

Also, i dont know who suggested cleaning the engine with simple green and coating with F-21 but thank you...i had been cleaning it with that two-in-one engine detailer stuff and it never impressed me. Yesterday, I cleaned with "Orange Blaster" or whatever it is called (comperable to Simple Green) and coated with F-21..havent even wiped it down yet and it already looks damn near new again

Ah yes, the valve cover color quandry with Mineral Gray...Been there, doin it now.....

I had my headers installed about a month ago, in Silver Ceramic Coated....made the valve covers look that much worse....

I just picked up a pair of FRPP Black Powder Coated Valve Covers. My intent is to install them this Saturday. After I am done, I can get you some pics so you can tell how they look with MG....

k, thank you....i'd like to see it in black also

Caution,
Yeah, I was planning on maybe doing the fuel rails and that plastic radiator cover (MAYBE), as well as possibly picking up a plenum cover and painting it too...would that be too much?
