      you can buy the paint its vht wrinkle paint you can get it online i got mine from summit but you can find it for cheep a couple of other places. you just strip the valve cover spray paint it one heavy coat then two light coats is what i did and then i stuck it in the oven for half an hour at like 250 and it wrinkles up from the heat.

        that looks a lot better than all the other gloss red valve covers ive seen on some cars. looks like it came like that from the factory.
        what tedious question?

                      you can bake it, but it brings out the finish faster. could use a heat gun or heat lamp.
