Default painted my valve covers

i think they came out pretty nice. i used the rest of my brake caliper paint. i had to take the alternator off the pass side to get the other VC off.

and i found major arcing on the coil wire, cyls 1,3,5,and 7. MSD wires/headers in the near future.

when i rebuild im going LE2, so im gonna paint it LT4 style before i put it back on

i just noticed, i should've painted the grooves (dips) red to offset the black more. i gotta pull them off again!
