Default Paint the valve cover (how?)

ok well my car is a very dark blue and im thinking of going with the valve cover to match. or at least get as close as i can..

what is the correct (not necesarily the easiest) way to paint it.

a write up or link or any type of answer would be great

thanks

and possibly a link to remove it to be painted.

or what about just having it powdercoated? any reason not to do this?

search noobsicle. its been covered about 100million times and I believe it is in the faqs.
Its very simple and If you dont know how to take a valve cover off you shouldnt be touching a car.
