buy the appropriate primer for the paint you buy. pretty basic if you have ever painted anything before.

Also I hear many different methods to either putting on grease to just sanding the raised letters on the valve cover after painting. Whats the best method for this?

I think the vaseline would be the best. then just sand with 1000 grit after it was baked.
