there's a couple DIY's about this in the DIY thread. With the right prep, the paint will last much longer
Also go with an enamel instead of a lacquer. Enamel will resist grease, oil better.

i did the valve cover on one of my ls swaps white, i did it white with the center flat part polished... it was a smooth new school ls valve cover... it looked pretty dope... good luck
