I personally like the look of chrome or polished. When I have the time I will be polishing my valve cover. I have tried a test spot and it looks like it will turn out well.

Duplicolor sells a copper metallic that would look sweet on the fuse box cover on an Orange model. Make sure to get some bulldog to get good adhesion.

I just painted mine Victory Red to match the exterior and I also painted a portion of the Filter cover as well. Pic's coming soon of the whole deal.
