I painted my intakes red and the valve covers black. Looks awesome. I only used engine paint, though. Powder coat will hold up much better.

While mine was in the shop getting new valve cover gaskets, I had intakes powder coated red and valve covers black. WOW. (A little redeneck perhaps to Bimmer purists, but I LIKE IT)

Andrew

I just thought that while I have the intake manifold gaskets replaced, it would be a good time to have the intake manifolds and valve covers removed, cleaned and chromed. I believe that would look incredibly good!

I've never had anything chromed before so do you know if aluminium can be chromed or if there are any problems with that?

Gotta love the way the V12 kicks like a mule
