So now that My car is out of the paint booth, looking sharp and ready to go, only to pop the hood and see these fugly stock v6 4.0 valve covers.

What can be done with them?

Can they be powdercoated? Chromed? Painted?

What has my fellow V6 brethren done?

 

What paint code is that? That cant be factory

 

I painted mine with high temp engine paint about 3 years ago, still look as good as when I first painted them and they are pretty close to body color! I also have my alternator cover painted same color (2005).
When it was done:

 

You could always come up with some kind of engine cover...
Like the 3 piece set for the GT, intake and fuel rail/injectors.
In my case though, the Shaker cover hides those ugly valve cover.

 

One of my friends did his in a black powdercoat with a "wrinkle" finish, looks really good

 

Thats kind of how they look stock lol.

 

oops sorry meant red, wrinkle red!! haha

 

Ahh yes I have seen this as well at a show, looks great!

 

Hey Redfire, where did you get this?

 

Which part? Lol I would imagine you are talking about the intake manifold cover. Got it from my buddy but they were being sold @ midwest auto gear which went out of business. Not sure where else they have them.

I believe midwest auto was the main supplier.
