I think it looks sweet. I especially like that shade of blue.

It looks good but like Dang said, I'm wondering what color your car is. Also, what kind of paint did you use? I hope some high temp stuff

unless you have exhaust piping in close proximity it doesnt matter what kind of paint you use on a valve cover.

Powder coating stands up to heat great.

nothing over 350F, maybe 400F. At that point it'll blister.

Powder coating is usually baked @ 320- 410F depending on the powder and the method of application. MOST powder coatings can stand heat in excess of 550F.
