i was wondering what kind of paint you guys use to paint the engine cover since it has to be one that can deal with the heat and all that
let me know

i personally think the engine bay looks a lot nicer without that big plastic cover. it just pops right off. then you just get a powder coated/painted or polished oil cap and either order a powder coated valve cover or polish it yourself and call it a day

that im not sure of. i never noticed that cobalt addiction had them. i ordered mine from modern performance
and removing the valve cover doesnt involve much of takin anything apart really. some people have even did it while leaving it on the engine

a polished valve cover looks good only if you have the coilpack sealed cover for the center, otherwise, it looks a bit off with the wires sticking out loose

I actually have a polished valve cover with Ecotec painted in red with the black engine cover and it looks really good. I also painted the fuse cover panel and the ecm panel in Black with blue flakes. And I also painted my K&N Typhoon Intake Black as well with blue flakes to match the rest. I think it flows nice under there. I will have to take pics. I have been really really lazy and I just haven't done it. I've had it done since April. LoL! Sad I know.
