    Its a powdercoat color we like to call pornstar black. its alot more subtle in real life. basically just black until light or the sun hits it

    did you just put the valve covers back on? or have you been driving with them on for a while, if so how is it standing up?

    Well I want to paint my intakes, turbo pipes and intake mani gunmetal (like the car and the valve covers a navy blue. As all the other colours at canadian tire are not for me. and im to cheap to get them powder coated.

    I painted my valve covers in spring to be gun metal but ended up as a olive grey colour...and i painted the intake and turbo pipes ripple black. but just want a change now. dont want to paint them n then have the paint not stick due to the heat.
