Yes it will work..

Pull the valve cover off.. Buy a can of aircraft stripper and strip the paint off..Pick up a can of VHT wrinkle paint.., etc

Degrease the surface.. Paint laying thick coats (if using wrinkle paint)

Put it in the oven on 215 for 12-15 minutes

I'd recommend replacing the valve cover gasket depending it's condition.

also some hi-temp clear will get a nice shine to it as well.
