Speaking of valve covers.
I just painted one yesterday that looked like *** when I got it.I used Duplicolour primer and then there high temp black. Sprayed 2 light coats then one medium coat. really easy to do. I'm no painter buy any means. Heres a before and after picture.

It only cost me $14 bucks for the paint....i used simple green to clean the valve cover off. Then just used painters tape to cover the letters and opening. It only took me exactly 2 hours from start to finish.
