Yesterday, I finished cleaning my front valve cover, but since it was raining, I decided to wait until today to post up the before and after shots.

If someone knows how to adapt colours to objects in photoshop or GIMP, please tell me, because I want to paint these, but I am undecided upon a colour.

cover**
I am still trying to figure out how to remove the far one.. my haynes manual says to remove the EGR valve, but I am not sure if I have to do that, or if I can clean up the EGR valve while it is out.. thus making it useful to remove it.
