Default OEM High temp coat comming off: What color should I paint my valve cover?

As the topic states my valve cover coat is chipping off, should I paint it black again or should I paint it red? That's the only color I can think of. This is for a D15B2 SOHC motor.

I already painted it, desided on red. However, my dumba@$ painted it without taking off all the original coat. But it still came out good.
