Hey guys, I in the middle of doing the head gaskets on my BD... I'm painting up a bunch of the engine parts. I dont get my heads back till tomorrow so I figured I would have a little fun with some of the parts...
Valve cover color?
-RED
-Black
-mild polish (dont really feel like it, but might...)
-Aluminum
Parts painted so far...
-PS pump bracket (bright red)
-AC/Alt bracket (bright red)
-dip stick tube
I'm a fan of RED under my hood for some odd reason... haha

If you started with red, keep going with red. That's my vote.

These are the red parts so far... I already did the PS bracket a couple years ago... Also cant install the dip stick tub till I have the heads...

I like the sound of aluminum, just because I feel too much red might get overbearing. I mean, it might not, but aluminum is just a nice touch to any engine bay in my opinion. Especially brushed aluminum. I really like the red and brushed aluminum combination.

I would do red & black. I think it'd look pretty nice.
