Located an 89 engine with the center bolt valve covers that I might put in my 70 truck. I would like to paint it chevy orange, but thought that the center bolt valve covers might look strange painted orange. No money for chrome right now, just wondering if I should just paint it balck like it is or try the orange ?? Anyone have any pics of newer engines painted orange ???
Thanks.

Re: Painting newer engine Chevy orange ???
They make adapters to allow you to use early style covers. They're kinda pricy IMO.

Re: Painting newer engine Chevy orange ???
Why wouldn`t they look good orange?If you want an option,try painting them Alumna-Blast (Eastwood) or a simular product.(flat silver to look like raw aluminum)
