I am OK with the Painted Valve Cover.

There is that Powder coating that is also an alternative to painting. I believe it is more durable.

Take another pic after it is on the Engine for about 6 months or more to show us how it holds up.

I am embarrassed to say that I never noticed the firing order on mine; when I needed to know that I spent time looking it up; now I can see that it was right their on the Valve Cover all the time.
