Mike,
I used Duplicolor Truck and Van T229 Silver on the valve cover and oil
filler
cap, and the air filter shroud. It has the correct "warm" silver look, and the
Duplicolor can has a nice adjustable spray head. It's not high-temp paint, but
the
valve cover doesn't get hot enough to bother the paint.
On the oil filter can, I used GM blue engine paint. It appears quite
close in
color to the original AC. Last year I converted to a spin-on filter. I had
some left
over blue, so I painted the NAPA spin on can. What the heck.
Regards,
Rick 1973 TR6 CF2570U
