you should paint the raised lettering flat silver(grayish) that would look good, unless your going for the stealth look.

do you need high-temp paint for that or no? because i have olive drab and a B16a, and my cover is written on. but the olive drab isn't high-temp, so i'm kind of worried about using it.

I painted my valve cover with a can of high temp red/orange. After that I sprayed a coat of color matched red which wasn't heat treated. I took a black permanent marker and colored the lettering. It's been that way for almost a year now and it has never flaked or anything. I left the stock rough textured finish on whether that make a difference or not I'm not sure.
