Default Valve cover?

A friend gave a spare SOHC VTEC valve cover that he wants me to paint for him. I'd have it done already but he wants it to be like the red krinkle stuff seen on the ITR valve covers.
What can I use to get this affect and where can I buy it?
Also can I just paint over the stock coating with it or do I have to strip it all off?

Thanks guys!

Go to Autozone or something like it and get a can of "Aircraft Stripper" , a can of Black Crinkle Paint, And a can of high heat red paint. Then remove the OEM coating and paint the crinkle on then the red and sand the letters down! THat is all there is to it!
