Here's my old graphite ones.
They look a little lighter in the pic, but they matched the graphite paint perfectly.

Here is my old 408, blue valve covers with polished M1.
Mill the top off your covers. Here is the valve covers I'm using on my 360 build.

Is silver vein universal? As in if I find a powder coater and tell him I want silver vein, it will come out looking like that?
I am getting all my stuff powder coated this time around, mainly for easy cleaning.

i thought that was called hammerite(blue, silver,green,.etc.)
they look nice by the way, i just powdercoated my intake black so im looking to see what would compliment it, silver grey?
this is what mine looked like.http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w180/99blackknight/100_0184.jpg..
Get your valve covers powdercoated as well. Don't paint them. The blue will go just fine with the black.
My intake might not be black, but I painted my a/C compressor, A/C lines, and alternator black.
