RE: valve cover
I self painted mine. I just used engine paint from autozone. It was only like 5 bucks too. Its easy, just take off what you need. Cover your head with something so no dirt gets in while you are painting. I didn't sand or use a clear coat, just engine paint. Its pretty easy. I also made sure I didn't get any paint on the inside of the valve cover. I'm not sure if it would do any harm or not. Also, make sure the valve cover isn't too hot to paint.
