I wanna change my valve covers on my 2000 silverado just to get a better look under the hood. So if any one can help me find a site or a place where i can get some better looking covers i will greatly appreciate it....

WOW! Those are cool (and $$$$$$)!

Powder coat, don't paint. I had mine powder coated red for $20.

lol...I was talking as far as sanding, priming, etc. I'd hate to do it and then have it look like **** later on. I'm seriously considering buying some high temp engine paint and going to town in the morning
