The valve covers are easy to polish if you like chrome like surface that is. Once polished you could get them powdercoated with a translucent powder coat that can be the wildest of colors with the gloss below it still visible.

VHT also makes a wrinkle paint that is the same as used on Ferrari and Maserati engines. I used it on one of the engines I am using and it looks bitchin. I'll post pics if your interested in seeing the finished product.

Definitely looks good man! Love the valve covers, fuel rails, and coil pack brackets. The contrast between all of it works well together!
