I alternate between the chrome valve covers and a set of the black wrinkle finish closed letter Cobra covers I bought back around 1980. I’d like to refinish them in a color that resembles the 65 open letter covers. Looking at online pictures I’m wondering if I need some sort of gray or maybe flat or dull aluminum. Is there a better choice?
I’ve repainted the black a couple times, if I remember, the natural finish is not what I’m looking for and it is not very smooth, probably why they use wrinkle paint.
