Default valve cover spraying

im going to spray the valve cover on my ls vtec red (looks almost identical to the type r red). its a wrinkle paint. i already sprayed it once, but a buddy of mine messed it up while it was drying. last time we used grease and traced over all the raised writting on the valve cover then lightly sanded it when the paint was dry.

is this the best way to cover all the letters? or does anyone have any other ideas on it? thanks

I used vaselene. Worked great. I used sand paper to take it of. 400 grit did the trick and since it was by hand, it dind't scratch the valve cover.
