Post them up. I might paint mine when I remove them to change my spark plug O ring gaskets.

My rattle can wrinkle black is still perfect and durable as hell! I was expecting it to be lousy.

Here's a pic of the cam covers I'm going to put on with the finned aluminum coil covers I got from Sparta Performance (thanks to Blackened300a for the Cam covers)

Those look great. Now I might be rethinking my color choice.

Thanks, I think the blue will really look good in a black Marauder. I know a lot of folks like to have that "Black widow" theme with black and red, but I enjoy the blue accents. I plan on painting my calipers blue in the future too.

What color were you planning to go with?

DTR believe it or not. I painted some spark plug covers our DTR color for a family member with a DTR and they looked great. Right now I have the silver spark plug covers and DTR cam cover under those might look really good. I wanted a bright color until I noticed it had to be cleaned often and not a week goes by where my hood stays shut unless I do not drive it for a week.

mmmmm thinking, but I have a few weeks to decide.

that'd be a cool choice. I want to say someone on this site had dtr colored cam covers but I forget who. think it might be in their signature or avatar. name escapes me but I know it looked really good

Wouldn't DTR applied directly to the engine reduce HP?

IMHO... I'd get the covers powder coated.

If you want true DTR, best to have a body shop spray them.

So...if we are connecting women to the colors of MM here are the following references
Black=Mary Ann
DTR=Ginger
DPB=Smurfette
SB=Betty White

This took several hours of research, you're welcome.

Bake on the grille @ 200* for at least an hour, plus a day to cure. Not at this temp obviously.

If it lasts for more than 4 hours call a hooker...and maybe a goat.

If you go with generic pills you're gonna need that goat...so I've heard
