valve covers will be done on the wrinkle paint as well... it would be to much white, but i thought about it though!! plus they wont look dirty with them being black..

good call on that, i kinda wanted to match the calipers and i have nothing else in RED on the car at all so i don't want to mix so many colors and make it look busy, you know what i mean...

It fits well on a white car.. Not sure about the yellow cap though, would have done that black myself..

Wtf is wrong with my computer...lol.
Just paint with brush and high temp ceramic paint. Doesn't have to be perfect as the covers and purge tanks cover alot of the SC. Of course you have to remove those items again

Very nicely done. My brother did the plastic covers in white a few years ago on his E55 but never did the valve covers. It looks great in black to contrast the white plastic covers. Now that the car has been repainted we had the plastic covers painted Interlagos and looking to paint the valve covers in yellow to match the calipers. How tough of a project was doing the valve covers? Not really excited about having to tape off and X-acto the AMG logo lol.
