Wanting to get some new valve covers, suggestions?
 

Wanting to "change" up my engine bay with some new valve covers and looking for some suggestions.

Thinking polished with a bowtie or maybe edelbrock signature...something like that. (these are older pics, the thermostat housing is now polished and the MC is chrome).

Its a 454.

I thought these looked pretty sweet!

Shiny is cool but I'm to lazy to polish and deal with oxidization.

Heres mine. I agree polishing sucks. I found an old pair of Holley Aluminum valve coveres at a swap meet. I took them in and had them chromed like you would steel. Then I painted inbetween the fins to match the block. No more polishing.

I like the style you have now - maybe powder coat the valve covers orange and powder coat the tops of the fins w/ a chrome look powder? Same with the air cleaner maybe? No polishing req'd then and would be plenty durable. Of course, these are my all time favs, I stole this pic from Chad Coley (CC69Rat).

Man, I really like the way your valve covers look now.

I wouldn't change a thing. But that's just me talking.

I really liked the look of these so I used them on my '62 BelAir. _ Made by PML - yourcovers.com.

Those polished up would probably be my favorite so far!

Honestly, I don't mind the polishing. It never gets in the rain and dirty about 4x a year, I can polish up enough for that. :metal:

Thanks for the kind words on the ones I have now. I think they look fine as well, just wanted to switch it up a bit. Maybe I could polish the ones I have or like you guys said, have them powdered.

Don't be like that :smoke: - you need to post up some pics of that Bel Air!!!!
