Default Getting my valve cover powder coated, Opinions!!!

I am attending a car show soon and the guy who does the powder coating is going to be there.

He is charging only $35 so its a good deal & all the proceeds go to a family, I wont get into that but that is another reason I want to get my valve cover done lol.


so anyway, I'm trying to choose out of the colors he has.

lmk which color you think would be best.

signal yellow
Mint Green
Bright orange
Gold Vein
Gloss Clear
Gloss White
Signal Blue
Camel
Black Texture(Wrinkel Black)
Satin Black
Silver Grey
Verde Green
Signal Red
Silver Vein



thank youuuuuu

What color is your car? Do you have any other colors in your engine bay, like on a CAI? What color are your rims if you've got them? We've gotta know what other colors are in the mix so we can make suggestions to match.
