    Just like the title says, lets see some pics of painted finned valve covers. I just scored a set and need some inspiration.

    Here's mine after I painted them red. The inserts were black.

    I scruffed up the black inserts, taped off the large polished sections and then rattle canned them. Then, I used acetone on a small rag and wiped off the red paint.
     
  3. I have a pair that are completely painted, I would have never thought that would look good, but they do.
