just sand and paint it really good and hopefully youll be fine.
Good story.Paint chips and fades, its envitable.You have absolutly no argument that paint is good as powder coating, specifically with hot, engine parts.

*Edit* Just saw in your profile your rockin the pacesetter mani and xtd clutch components.Guess your just doing things as cheap as possible.Im more into quality and only having ot do things once, its much cheaper/easier in the long run.Id rather powdercoat my valve cover and never worry about it again, than to paint it and gradually have it look crappier.
