paint scheme question

Im spraying my car w/ Arancio Atlas pearl (the orange on lamborghini diablos) and painting on the side graphics in EBP, I also re-sprayed all my interior pieces w/ EBP. so heres my question: I bought another valve cover and Im not shure what I want to do w/ it. Should I polish and paint the wire cover EBP, paint the valve cover orange and spray the wire cover blue, paint the valve cover blue and spray the wire cover w/ orange, paint the cover orange and get a CF wire cover, or paint the cover blue and get a CF wire cover? need opions.

are you getting the engine bay painted, if not it will be blue correct? well i say paint the valve cover the opposite color, and the wire cover the color of the engine bay, with the letters the color of the valve cover. and then get hose technique's hose kit and do the hoses in the color of the valve cover. i hope that makes sense. btw cant wait to see the sick orange civic

i assumed when he sayin that he getting his car painted that that includeds the exterior, door sills and engine bay.
if not then YES do it vice versa. whatever color the majority of the car is, the valve color should be. Then you can paint the plug cover the other.

Im painting the car myself, so it will be a true all over job. Im removing the doors when I paint it so that I can make shure that all of the jam is painted, and that the doors are completely cut in. Im also going to mask everything in the engine bay and dust it as well. So when Im finished the entire car will be a bright orange pearl w/ a Electron Blue Pearl " R34 skyline style" stripe on the sides.

Yeah, that sounds the best. It would give the valve cover some contrast and stand out a little more in the engine bay, and the wire cover would tie it all together.
