Pedantic painting Valve Chest Cover - e-richard - 24-05-2022

The car: 1937 Opal APE

Repainting the Valve chest cover. It will be all black, but what is the correct colour to pick out the Austin Logo?



Red or white?



So far, just undercoated.

I’m not sure the Austin logo was picked out in a contrasting colour, all the ones I’ve seen are black...I’d be happy to be corrected!

I painted mine bright red. It makes the car go really fast!

Your choice; originally the lettering was not picked out in a different colour.

How about gold leaf? Added bonus is it's a nod to the Mclaren F1 engine bay...

Reckers, That only works if you have the accompanying black and white chequered go faster stripe. As per the 1960’s mini’s. That is car not skirt.

That's a relief, I'm not the only sad soul who felt it necessary to spend those minutes picking out the name in red. Or indeed responding to a forum question as to which colour.

RE: Pedantic painting Valve Chest Cover - Reckless Rat - 24-05-2022

It's a bit like a broken pencil to be honest - you can't see the damn thing anyway (well not much of it). Mine is red because that's what was handy.

See what I mean?

Hang on, that looks like the entire valve chest cover, not just the picked out lettering!

RE: Pedantic painting Valve Chest Cover - Reckless Rat - 24-05-2022

That's what I said. I painted it red to make it go faster...
