As part of a complete cosmetic restoration on one of the project bikes, I had a set of engine/valve covers refinished in powder coat.
I was able to select a color from about 500 choices at Prismatic Powder, a commercial powder supplier, and I picked "Bronze Texture." They don't offer an exact match to the brown/tan OEM color, but this is pretty close and I think it's much richer and will look great.

The covers came to me on a parts bike and were sun-faded and generally rough shape. Someone had begun stripping the paint with a wire wheel and they were gouged up pretty badly. I was able to smooth them out somewhat with a metal prep pad on the die grinder, but let's just say I wasn't expecting any miracles from the painter....
...but that's pretty much what I got.
There's no evidence of the previous damage and the texture is perfect.
The project bike will look great with its "new" engine covers.
