your best bet would be to have that valve cover powdercoated,...most paints that even came close to resembling the Electron blue paint that i have seen was not high temp paint,..and if you paint you will need high temp paint if you want the paint to last at all

Alot of custom harley and motorcycle shops do powdercoating. My friend took his downhill bike to get powdercoated and got it done for like 300. Ohh yeah and for those who dont know 300 is a damn good deal for a whole bike.

Get paint stripper, and Hi-Temp paint from Pep Boys and do it your self. Put vasaline ober the letters on the valve cover, and when it all dries peel it off.
