By '78 all GM engines were painted corporate blue. L48 engines used stamped valve covers painted to match the engine.
L82 engines, while having corporate blue blocks and heads, used lengthwise ribbed magnesium or aluminum valve covers painted gloss black, but the top edge of the ribs was unpainted and natural metal color.
