I would say if you want to paint them, get the polished model, the black wrinkle paint would probably be a hassle to strip. It would be more expensive, but cheaper than the MP ones (which I doubt are of higher quality).

Finally - disc brakes on the front.
In the plans - rear disc brakes, B&M 250 blower

Here's what I wrote in this thread about those Weiand covers: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...e=0#Post4472331"These look to be the same ones but without the top of the fins machined, with the Weiand logo put in the empty rectangle and of course with some creative painting. I suspect you can do the same with the polished model of the CP Proucts valve covers (a little more expensive than the black wrinkle that I have). If I'm not mistaken, PAW also sells these, but they are more expensive there." So, yes, I think they are the same. Ran

I just finished these and posted pics on the weekend, so you may have missed them. I almost went with these because that blank box is like it was made for those fish emblems, but I decided I wanted something a little smoother looking. Quote:
OK, I know this is thread is drifting all over the place, but to add to the above info, there are also:
CP products cast aluminum ribbed covers in Black wrinkle or polished. They look sorta like the M/T but they have a blank rectangle in the middle (for putting a name plate, I guess). They're less boxy, maybe they're more like the MP covers.

Speaking of finned covers, how do you powdercoat finned covers and keep fins shiney?

I'd guess you would powdercoat the color, polish the ribs, then powdercoat the clear...

Thats a nice touch, did you stick painted emblems on them? and if yes, how so?
