We just painted the air cleaner and the valve covers at work (see pics) and they look great. We sandblasted the valve covers, then sanded them, then our painter used a spray applied mask (gripmask) on the raised Chevrolet lettering and sprayed them orange. Once they dried, he cleaned off the masking and clear coated them.
I'm hoping to have everything wrapped up within the next two weeks.

Love how the valve covers turned out...
