What Color To Paint Valve Cover???
So Im just about to install my new turbo and I thought my engine bay could use a Little more Bling Bling, so I Decided to paint the valve cover and I wanted some opinions on what color to go with. I cant decided Between Black, Silver or Cameleon. I know all of the colors Would look good but your input would be much appreciated to help pick.
-here are a couple engine bay pictures-
