Ok one more
This was the red one used in the pics a few pages back. It's powder coated a Purple that in some lighting almost looks electric blue. I like it so much i'm getting mine for the dd done like it. The Mivec Turbo letters were taped off and polished for a more detailed look 
We couldn't accurately capture the true beauty of the color and shine. It's just one of those colors that have to be viewed from multiple angles.
BTW...We are having a little custom valve cover competition check it out HERE

Heh cool never saw this thread
I did mine this summer. Stripped and sanded it and had a buddy powder coat it black. Painted valve covers I've had in the past always flake or discolor. Shaved all lettering, lines, the Mg logo, and the little triangle next to the oil cap.

Guys I need your opinion. I have HKS timing belt, HKS cam gear, and Zaklee Evo IX clear cam cover in storage at home. I need suggestions on which color and finish to paint the valve cover so the HKS stuff goes with it well. My car is graphite gray if that matters.
LMK thanks!
