hey guys, i searched but didnt find much. Im takin the valve covers off tomorrow, i want to paint them to match the silver on the v8 cover. what color(code) did you guys use.

also theyre not that bad looking. the oem paint dosent look that bad over most of the cover. what grit sand paper should i use to get that stripped. did you you guys prime and clear coat them?

im new to painting so i hope this isnt a disaster. any pics would be helpful. im taking the covers off to do a gasket replacement by the way. thanks
