stock valve covers color scheme

[caballo]

My 1989 supra came fitted with a 7mge engine. I noticed that the valve covers were black with red lettering. It looks stock to me. Ive only seen 7mge engines with gray valve covers until i saw mine. Did Toyota ever produce 7mge engines with a black color scheme?

No....previous owner must have painted them.

Yea i got the same thing on the my blk 91 i just bought. Previous owner painted everything black/red. Did a really crappy job!!
