Re: engine cover?
Its called a valve cover. It just unbolts to take it off. But it has a gasket. I think people use ceramric high temp paint.

Re: engine cover?
If you just sand down the valve cover with some sandpaper or steel wool, or a power sander, you can hone it down to a brushed aluminum or even a mirror finish. Looks the best in my opinion.

Re: engine cover?
I wanted to do mine myself, but all that siliconing blah blahkept me away from it...my advice, if your not an expert, do NOT attempt this on your own...Check out mine though..I think the candy apple is sweet:
