No it's polished that was taken in the dark and the reflection from the dark room made it look black but it's not painted it's reflection .
And the valve cover is going to be re painted :shock: to an almond white .

Need some suggestions i picked up these bolt and washers and i need help on what theme to go with. Like i said the VC is going to be Almond white so i was thinking of doing the washers that color also tell me what you think ,

Original stainless steel .

what do you guys think ?
