Default Valvecover Re-cover

I've got stock L98 valvecovers on the beast, how should I dress it up a bit?

One for powder coat black here. Or just paint them black like I did last time. I used gloss black engine paint. It held up great.

You might need to clearcoat them though.

Jimmy, those covers may not clear the wiper motors on our cars, I like them though. :confused:

Actually, looking at the motor that came out and the motor that's going in, I wish I could POLYURATHANE the new one!
