I wanna see some pics of the blue painted. I'm thinking of doing that to mine myself. I have blue being the compliment color for my black OZ.

I'm in the same boat. My car is thunder gray and blue is the color I've been using throughout my car.

just paint the whole thing, then when it's dry enough spray some high temp paint onto a brush and paint the letters with that. MIGHT work, dunno about with that type of paint tho

Xtian that came out really nice, u might have convinced me to try and paint my cover. May I ask what kind of work is involved in doing that. Is it difficult to remove the valve cover and what else must be done to remove it. Thanks
