i just took it off....i sealed all the holes with blue painting tape...that acutally took the longest because i took my time with the razor and cut the circles all nice and pritty.....the paint i used was a plasti-kote, ENGINE ENAMEL, Color: Ford Blue NO.224, i put 2 coats of that on it and then one coat of clear coat....it came out exactly like i wanted.....for those that like to do things on their own....patients pays off....take ur time on small projects and it will come out looking good. peace

okay here is it...the valve cover inside the car....the job didn't take me more than 30 min of real work....i waited like 30-40 min between coats..and i cleaned the *&(*& out of it before painting with some kind of green stuff that works well on cleaning the engine bay
