Default Powdercoating valve covers... opinions on finish

So while I have them off to do the gasket fix i figured I would have them powdercoated, since they look kinda bleh plain, plus the oil staining on them needs to go.

This will end up going along on a black limited, along with a polished or ceramic coated intake manifold (just to give you an idea of what the colors would look like as a whole on the motor)

I'm debating between wrinkle coat red, or wrinkle coat black.

the intake manifold on a n/a cannot be dissasembled in order for a coating to be baked on, sorry.

we can do the valve covers for ya in the teflon oil shedding coating in those colors, well the red isnt very glossy

Due to the butterflies or the gasket? I know the gasket is an issue of sorts, but with careful disassembly the gasket can be saved

I dont think i need to teflon coat the covers, the inside surface seems decent enough at shedding oil thus far. I'll just be coating the outside
