Cam Cover and Intake Pics - Please!

[WhatsUpDOHC]

Hi all -

One of the mods that I hope to do in 2013 is improving the engine bay on my SB.

I'm set on having my cam covers powdercoated with Ford Racing wrinkle blue.

I have the Ford Racing, polished, coil covers to compliment (Thanks, CWright!).

But, I can't decide on what to powdercoat my upper/lower intake.

Can you post up pics of your engine bay so that i can see the combinations?

Thanks,

Mark

The best looking combo I have seen is gunmetal engine compartment on the SB.

Here's mine. The cam covers are powder coated in Bengal Blue.

These motors look better than 75% of the cars outside paint jobs on the road, now the trick is to drive them and keep them perfect! Looks like sofar they are winning!

Thanks, Jake. I'm really pleased with the color match between the cam covers and some of the other detail items.

Could prolly use a little more chome though...

Is gunmetal the color that has the black undercoat/background and the silver topcoat - Looks like Mercury (the element) and still liquid?

All right, all you guys with chrome valve covers. What did you have done to them? Real 3 dip Chromate bath??? The two stage powder coat chrome (chrome pc then a clear since the chrome oxidizes over time) and even the single stage Eastwood Chrome look halfway between silver and chrome. The powdercoats in chrome are not impressing me at all. I've done it, had two different shops do it, tried the single stage Eastwood recently and it all looks exactly the same!!! Detailed info please!

Did someone say "carbon fiber"?

I powder coated the cam covers to match the blower with the same wrinkle finish...
