If you want it to look like ****, keep the valve cover on.
how are you gonna strip the paint off of it, you'll end up stripping paint off most the **** in your bay if your not careful, or overspray or something

If you want it to look good, stop being lazy and take it off.

just make sure to be gentle with the bolts holding it down and use Hondabond when putting the valve cover back on.

lol if you want it to look like **** then by all means, paint it while its on, but gl not getting it on everything else or masking that off. its a few bolts just make sure your valve cover gasket/seal is fine putting it back on in the groove
