B18A1 Valve Cover Blue or Red?

[818DA90]

Well I'm going to be doing a whole valve cover gasket job along with spark plugs and wires. Figured why not paint my valve cover?

Can't decide if I should do it red or blue. My current color is black.

Here are two crappy photoshopped renderings I made.

I think red. But it also depends on the color of your car.

My car is currently silver.

Blue.

I'd say blue or get the same paint as your car. I want to paint match mine to my car.

Oops! Haha. I say blue, to match your radiator hoses. Goes well with silver also. I vote ditch the red vac lines too... lol.

That's not a bad idea. I think it'll look pretty good with a silver vc, or maybe not lol.

I'll just leave this here.

What does yours look like now? I think the factory black wrinkle paint looks really good if it's in good shape. Otherwise get it done nice, not just spraypaint.

Mine is spray paint.

Spray can be fine if done right.

Base/clear or powder coat ftw.

I'd go blue with the silver car..
