to be honest i would take the engine cover off and then take the valve cover off and then buff that up really nice and make it nice and shiny,.... then that ____ will look nice as hell

there should be multiple threads discussing this already...

i used duplicolor engine enamel. it's not that expensive and you can get it at walmart. it's worked out perfectly. check out duplicolor's website to see all of their color options.

I'm just going to sand it smooth or close to it and use some adhesion promoter and then prime paint and clear it.
