Default Katech valve covers color
I got some Katech valve covers and painted them pewter. I was between pewter and black. Should I stick with the pewter or do you think black would look better?

Pewter.

If you do black they will disappear...and that's not really what you want for $400 valve covers.

I guess Im the odd ball, I vote black... you have a lot of pewter in that engine bay.

Black valve covers will make the rest of the pewter stick out even more.

Another vote for pewter. On a side note where did you get that chrome dipstick?

Pewter but they are kinda bland. Maybe some kind of decal, small emblem, or black accents on them?
