Painting valve covers...

Wanted to know if any one has done this, did it last, and what paint and process did you use? Thanks for the replies.

I call it the dubai edition, just clean them really good, and scuff them with a sotchbrite clean them again, use high heat engine primer and paint.

tweakrover, very nice! It looks like you painted the fuel rails as well? You've definately made up my mind whether to do it or not, looks awesome!
