| What color for my mopar valve covers? Ok so I got some brand new mopar magnum cast aluminum valve covers for a killer deal. ~$120 after shipping (regularly 180 plus shipping for black painted ones). The thing is they are powdercoated hemi orange right now. My truck is white so I think it could look good because it would add some color to my plain looking white slate. They also have a more old school feel i think. Right now the only other colors under the hood are my silver powdercoated m1 manifold, and some blue taylor wires. I am thinking I would just get rid of the blue wires and get some new black ones. But for only a little more than the price of wires I could get the covers repowdercoated in silver or blue. I just think that if I do silver it will just blend in more and blue doesnt really do anything other than match the side badging and the wires plus i think I like the orange. But what do you think? I put a picture of my engine as it sits now (sorry its dirty, I have been busy). I will also be adding some headers that will be coated with a silver ceramic coating (one more reason I dont really want to do them silver). |

| i think im going to keep them orange. I talked with few other powder coaters and got mixed answers for if stripping the orange powdercoat off first would be better than trying to coat over it. It seems likes its preferred by most to strip it first rather than just scuffing and reshooting. Well I dont want to spend hours sand blasting it and i like the idea of leaving them orange and then keeping or making everthing else silver and black since thats what everything is anyway for the most part. I would repaint all the yellow caps and parts silver and black. And then little things could be done in the same orange, like when i have to change the water pump i could do it too. Just things that wont stick out a lot and make it too orange. I want orange to be an accent on the motor only and not take over the entire engine compartment. |
