          FYI I'm having my valve covers professionally powdercoated in red crinkle to match the Nismo Omori engines:

          I found a place that will do it and guarantee the longevity of the finish. When it's done I'll post up about it on GTRC but if you're interested in a high quality, classic finish that will add value to your car PM me. I'm just doing my set first as a test and if it goes well I plan to arrange with one of GTRC's sponsors to take the project over and offer it to other members (since I'm too busy to do this on the side). I should have things done my mid-late July

            I got mine done in Nur gold. That would also suit your metallic orange paint job well!

                      I'll be doing orange, not saying which orange though cause I want to be the only one nationwide with them

                      John, I will PM you shortly about that P/C shops info.

                        ^ This way if the paint gets an orange peel you can say it was intended? ;p

                          Looks exactly like how mine will be. How'd you do it? Powdercoat I hope?

                            Oh man I am loving that crinkle paint. Anyone have a guy that does it? I would rip off all my covers and get them done
