Default Your input on color on valve covers.

Hey Turbo friends,

I'm doing a winter project on my 965, Some of you might have seen that already on the forum. Saying that. I have decided to ceramic coat all of my exhaust in satin black and the spider tube in gunmetal gray. I also decided to have the fan shroud also ceramic finished in satin black and the fan in gunmetal gray and the intake manifold in factory dark gray.

I'm looking for your input on the valve covers color.
1. Bead blasted and naked with ceramic satin clear. Top and bottom covers
2. Ceramic satin black.Top and bottom covers
3 Black top covers and gray bottom covers.

Thank you, guys.
Helio

This ^
I had mine bead blasted. I treated them with Sharkhide so they wouldn't corrode and just painted the letters spelling "PORSCHE" on the uppers.

I like the clear look. But wouldn’t ceramic clear turn yellow due to heat?
