Taking off the cover is simple, just pull up and it comes off. Paint wise, I would think some type of flex paint for bumpers would be best. Not sure if I would use regular paint, because the cover has a lot of flex when you remove it.

I used brake caliper paint from auto zone on mine. (spray not brush)

Spend a couple of bucks and powercoat it. Keep it conservative.

EDIT - I am tired, I thought it said valve cover. What good would that do anyway. Nevermind me.

Not sure if powdercoating plastic is such a hot idea. might melt

I just used a high temerature spray paint but mine is starting to crack already. I will need to redo it soon
