Yea I went the paint method way. Just bought some of that canned paint stripper its called like "aircraft remover" or something, there is a plane on the can I know that lol. Spray it, let it set 5-10 mins...repeat till its clean. Wash it off with water let it dry. Then sprayed it with at least 4 good coats easy (i used 500 deg engine paint). Never had a problem. Helps alot if you have a spare valve cover so you don't have to put your car down for a day hehe. Also if you can go for the powered coat it does look alot nicer if the paint thing doesn't work out.
Btw, watch your 4 bolts that hold the cover down. I've stripped mine like 3-4 times and gotten oil everywhere (don't ask how i accomplish this amazing feat lol). No need to use a torque wrench, just once they get tight give them a good crank to make sure they are snug and you should be ok.
