I'm going to get my VC paint winkle black and red
Ah u bring up a very good point...probably wouldn't be willing to do everything right or somethin. Me understand hmmm i'm really liking the wrinkle black idea tho and the gold wheels too but how are u painting ur VC? The wrinkle w/ red i mean...and what kind of motor u got? Probably not the same as mine so it'd be a different VC. Like with mine if i do a two-tone paint id make the letters color matched with the blue or wrinkle black on everything else.

Black would look best, maybe silver, blue is just horrible..... red is horrible and played out.

Valve Cover is just a personal preference type of deal, I like wrinkle black with Polished letter. But paint it how you want, just do it right and don't try and make it too gay like Supersize [Insane Clown Posse]

Red/Blue/White Would look bad on VC IMO. Silver Paint with polished letters would be pretty cool. Maybe even a Steel Grey/Gunmetal?

Hmmm u bring up a good point but i think the blue wouldn't look too bad...but idt that i am going paint it anytime soon anyway so no worries haha decided that i aint gonna paint it yet...gonna focus on the wheels and tires. Ima get new tires on Friday if everything works out and maybe have my friend help me the next time i have the time for it haha YAY!

Haha yea i could see that looking prety kool (silver not white tho) but yah hmmm that wouldnt look bad. It would go with my brakes and body and i could just have my hx's repainted black or even if i went with the gold/bronze it would be nice too.

One of this dude I know...painted his VC rainbow color, no joke because he is gay and want to show his pride. But he left his brakes not painted rainbow color 0_o...sound like he don't want to come out of the hood.
