Re: Valve Cover Colors

I rarely disagree with Mr. Dyneto, but I have an original chrome valve pan cover in original box and the script is painted red. I have heard of several others painted red. I haven't made up my mind whether I like it or not, but if I do like it, then I have procured a rubber roller that a printer would user for inks and I would pick up the paint on the roller and go across the top of the script and then carefully clean up my mistakes. It adds a dash of color, but not too much. I'm still debating.
By the way, Packard did a lousy job of chrome-plating those covers. Mine were new in the box and I would have rejected them from a plater.
