Pics of my painted valvecover, coilpacks, and brackets...
Before you guys get on me..
I didn't sand the valvecovers smooth before I painted them because they'll be covered by the coilpacks anyways.. However, the parts that are visible are very smooth...
Coilpack - Monterey Maroon Metallic
Brackets- Gunmetal
Valvecovers - Black
Took a Sat. afternoon to get this done..
Random pic of me performing the !Wire Mod!

If your entire valvecover is gonna be visible I would recommend sanding it first.. but since my coilpacks cover most of the bumpy area.. I just cleaned them ( break cleaner) and painted..
Came out pretty good, if I must say so myself..

Looks great! Methinks the color scheme might be a little dark though, in such a cramped engine compartment. What color do you guys think would work well for my coil packs? I couldn't think of anything.
