I think it looks nice. The color makes me think of rust. Do it again when you get your DOHC,

I've done quite a few valve covers and learned that applying vasoline with a q-tip to the lettering and any area you dont want paint works great. Just peel/scrape the paint off with a razor and you're done, all the covers I've done have come out great.
