You should take it to a shop to get powdercoated. Its only $75.

They spray can anodize will flake super easy.

The best anodize brand is going to a shop and having them do a real anodize finish. Rattle can anodize ftl. Just PC your valve cover, like HKPRO, said.

+3 on the powdercoat. I did that to mine and it looks great, even a year later. Beware, the reds often don't look that great. I was going to get red (to match my car), but when the guy showed me some samples I decided pretty quickly to go with black.

Here is mine from back in the day. It was Rattle can Duplicolor. Stayed on for quite awhile with no flaking.

i think im gunna go with the anodize can. i not really willing to pay to have it powdercoated when i might not keep it that color.

Here is mine in Black. Yes, I know, engine bay is mighty dirty.

Anodizing is a chemical process; there's really no way to mimic an anodized finish. So, don't expect an anodized look from a rattle can. Not hating, I <3 rattle cans, lol. Just lettin you know...

yeah im not expecting it to come out like a part you buy anodized already. i just like the red color that it creates. lol. idk everyone like their own thing
