Default Proform valve covers

I just ordered a set of these for the 406, and got the unfinished version because all the pics online I found, I wasn't happy with the color. Just wondering if anyone has these, and if they could post pics and tell what color they are coated. I did my intake years ago with a silver sparkle powder coat, and it still looks good, but I think I want a slightly different color this time.

This round, I'm swapping back to the Vic Jr, and doing a bit of dress up tweaks, and run it for the season. Then on to a solid roller cam.......



This is not my engine. I just found a pic online to show the valve covers.

Here's my 406 as it sits.....needing cleaned up badly......

Yes, I am visually challenged....Just ask my wife when it comes to picking paint colors.

The valve covers came yesterday, and look like this.


The Vic Jr has never been coated, and all I did to clean it was spray it with carb cleaner. Now I want to get both the intake, and valve covers coated to help keep the oil and dirt from staining the aluminum.
