Painted Valve covers
Has anybody had or painted or have had something custom done to their valve covers to dress them up. Looking for ideas for my 96 LT1 preferably in red and black.

Not to hijack the thread or ask a stupid quiestion but may I ask what kind of black paint did you guys use on your runners and engine placement? I havent been able to locate any paints that say they are tolerant to the heat of the motor. They look fantastic. Thanks
