I have a1955.1 3600 wth a 235. My valve cover doesen't have a speck of paint on it or in it. Were some covers unpainted? My search on this site doesen't mention unpainted covers. It's not chrome. I shined it up nice when i first got it 9 years ago but now i can't seem to get it the way i did before.

I just painted a valve cover and the old paint seemed to chip off easily I don’t think they were unpainted but over time the paint came off with the grease and oil
