Since the motor is apart and a new one is going in, I thought I'd take the time to paint the valve covers. Thanks goes to my GF for picking out the color which matched my car pretty damn well.

I like the way they came out, and the total cost was about 10 bucks. I have new PCV grommets to go in, so I just painted those as well.

Hope you like.

Damn, that looks clean, man. Makes me want to do mine, too, I just can't decide what color would look best with Satin Silver.

No HP added but a decreases drag over the motor due to the glossy shine.
