I have a set of Continental valve covers for my COP swap, but they are black. I want to powdercoat them the same exact color as stock before I put them on. If I'm not mistaking the stock silver color has some metallic in it?

Does anybody know what powder color perfectly matches stock? Thanks for any help.

Ya but they have so many different kinds of silver and I really would want to compare the factory silver on a set of stock coil covers to what they have. Or at least bring in the factory silver coil covers so they can tell me what they think will match best. Here are all the silvers they have...

Maybe this one?

But look at this silver:

Check out the images with that color. Are those 93 cobra rims or are my just tired?

Orrrrr maybe this is real close?

Joe ask george. He got his valve covers and intake re done when his engine was built to the oem color.

Its a silver metalic. Came out excellent! The intake is the C&l finish its not powder coated

Nice, looks great man. Love it. How much does it look like the factory finish to you? Do you remember what the powdercoat color was called exactly?

Check the ones I posted in my second post too lol...

Hmmm so if it looks better than factory, maybe it doesn't actually match? haha if it's real close though... maybe I'll have to give it a try and if I'm unhappy with it do the intake manifold too lol.

Let me know if you cant find out :beer:
