I didn't know whether to put this in the Body & Paint section or Engine section.  A few months ago I picked up a 2400 valve cover that is in very condition.  Years ago the previous owner had cleaned and wet sanded it to smooth it out.  I am wanting to get it back to original as possible but I am having a hard time finding what an original really looks like.  Were they painted grayish silver from the factory?  Did they have a smooth finish or cast finish?  Based on what t looks like no
