In my original thread https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...acks-pics.html i painted my valve covers 'Cast Iron'. Well, i did not like how it tured out. So later that same night i sanded down my valve covers again and prepped them to be repainted. Only this time for them to be painted black.

New new black valve covers came our PERFECT i couldn't be happier..

Here are the pics. Tell me what you think now

meh i do not feel like taking it all apart again. I paint the bolts and if i take it apart the paint will chip

What about just wrapping it in electrical tape or touch up paint to make it blend in?

I orginally did the valve covers a cast iron color and the brackets were black. I did not like how the cast iron valve covers came out. Look at the link in my originial thread found in post #1.... I like that the valve covers and brackets are black. Makes the coil packs pop

It was time consuming b/c i did not like the color i painted the valve covers the first time. But now that they are black it is perfect and well worth the time..

If it was my car this is what i would do:

Intake: Silver

Valve Covers: Black

Coil Brackets: Black

Coil Packs: Silver

I am in the process of doing this myself. Everything is in primer right now including the intake. I shaved all the mounts for the screws on the valve covers and they look sweet. I will post pics when i am done.

Nice job!

Here you go. I made my own relo kits so i could do this though.

I left the rearest bolt on so that i could mount the relo kit on there but i changed my mind and i am going to put them under my cowl where my whipers are. You cant see that last bolt anyway so i just left them on.

Cheap MSD coils look good LOL nice job on the paint. Did you wet sand at all or did you just shoot them?

How did you remove your oil fill neck? Did you push it up from the bottom? I think there is an o-ring in there and it is really tight?

Wait i am lost abotu the MSD part your talking about..

But i dry sanded the coils with 1000 grit.. They were smooth enough to begin with. Just scuffed it up so the primer could stick to it. After sandini put 3 coats of adhesion promoter on, 3 coats of filler primer, 4 coats of color and 3 coats of clear

The oil neck thing i removed from the bottom you have to pull on a lil tab so that you can turn it then it slides out.. i had to use a bent small flat head screw driver to get to pull on that tab and at the same time turn it and pull out.
