might want to hit the paint department at a parts store. get some high heat engine enamel, clean up the old valve covers and paint.

I agree, it'll be cheaper, just takes a little time

in my case it took a lot of time. i spent all day working on mine but i was fairly happy with the results. something i learned was to do 1 side at a time. then you can do one 1 day and if you run out of time you don't have to do the other. in my case i was putting away all my tools just after the sun went down. i used dupli-color engine enamel paint.
