I've been a member of this site for a little while now and I've been soaking up as much info as I can get. I asked around and found I needed to change my valve cover gasket so I while I had my valve cover off I decided to go ahead and paint it. So my engine went from
This:

to This:

in the past week! New header too! Sounds pretty good I like it!!
I also went ahead and painted my calipers,

I like them as well. I'm going with a black and blue theme if you haven't noticed.
And then here is an upclose on the valve cover

And that about rounds out my mods that I accomplished this past week!

Do what I did, sand down those lines moving horizontal on the valve cover, this way you'll have chrome accents...or if you want, take a paint brush and paint those lines black since you said you wanted a black and blue theme.

Mm I like the black stripes idea! I may have to give that a shot!

Make sure you use high-heat paint...they have high heat paint in gloss and flat black finishes just letting ya know
And it also looks like you're in need of a new 16 VALVE sticker..i removed mine and when i debadged my trunk i took the toyota and celica badges and took double-sided tape and outlined them and put them on my valve cover. Here's me.
