Paint color for valve covers & intake
 
I'm in the process of cleaning up the engine bay of my 1993 SSP. I want to repaint the valve covers and intake. What color is that? Where can I get that color? Duplicolor?

This is a good question... I am curious about this since I am restoring mine..

ford gray on the valve covers. I bead blast the upper and lower intake and then spray them with high heat engine enamel in "CLEAR". The intakes were not painted when new.

I've decided not to touch the valve covers or intake with any paint. As a buddy of mine pointed out, there is a decal on the passenger side valve cover against the firewall, which you could purchase again and reapply. But on the drivers valve cover, there is a paint pen marking in white that would be hard pressed to duplicate. And it's only original once. So, that being said, I just cleaned them up with some Simple Green and am leaving them at that. Same with the upper intake, even though it has the wear mark from the A/C line.
