Finally did my own valve cover (just black)
Started off with a good shaving
put bolts in place and taped off
Some coats of paint
throw it in the oven for 15 minutes @ 215° (thank you mitsuman for your DIY)
Cut off the tape, take out the 10mm bolts and slap it on good to go

I did mine with kyrlon red and it didnt turn out orange. Under extreme lighting it looks orange (like while your painting it and you got the bright lights on it) it came close to the itr color and texture.
