Depending on your overall look/style, I would go chev orange. I tried to attatch a pic here...

I think this looks REALLY cool for an older vette or shoebox. Making it look "oem" with a twist.

I decided to do the block and the valve covers in Chevy Orange.

Just a bit of overspray to clean off the front cover.


Valve covers primed.


Coated in Chevy Orange a few times.


With the valve covers loose installed.


With the coil packs.


Turned out great I think.

It's not an LSx, but something a little different...





More pics here if you are interested:

57 Chevy with LT5

BTW, this car will be for sale soon...
