so everyone has removed their valce cover and had it painted or now powder coated but is there any reason I couldnt run the valve cover raw? like if I sanded off of the paint off and left it the shiney aluminum color a steel wire brush leaves on aluminum? I like the look of raw alu and I'm a cheapie so sanding is cheaper than painting...input from you now: go!

 

should be no reason why my friend did it with his 00 teg for a while then painted it. its alu so its not going to rust or anything not a bad look either

 

its done..
