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.

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