Take it off, strip the paint, and polish it.

just get red wrinkle paint and it will look 95% identical to the JDM valve cover..which looks better than polished IMO.

But if you want the polished look. Get some aircraft paint stripper, wetsand it, then for for a fine grit polish for a lustrous shine. GL and keep us posted on your results.
