The other option is for those of you who want to polish the valve cover. Remove the VC, strip it with the aircraft stuff (it's amazing), then clean it really well and dry it thoroughly. After that, use really fine grit sandpaper and wetsand it. I never took the time to get it chrome-like, but I did get a nice silvery/titanium look in about 30 minutes. If you wetsand all the imperfections out and then use a metal polishing compound (mother's, meguirs) with a high speed buffer it will look chrome after a couple hours work. For the quick and dirty VC just sand and polish a few times by hand. Use VHT wrinkle paint if you want to recreate the factory look in red, blue, or black.
