Painted valve covers on M62
so since I have the motor out and will be doing all the gaskets.

those nasty looking tan/silver/whatever color that BMW chose for the valve covers is going to go.

show me your valve covers if you painted them...

I will have them bead blasted at a min, they look terrible.

Why not just a simple black to match the rest of the plastics under the hood? Subtlety is underrated these days, IMO!
