Has anybody painted the six cylinder valve cover that had "Chevrolet" painted on it? How did you do it where you had the back ground blue, and white letters on it, and have it come out nice? What was your method? Thanks.

I have done this and to be honest, it turned out better than I have even hoped.
I wanted the letters on my valve cover to be silver. I first painted the valve cover silver. I then laid masking tape over the letters. I first laid it down gently, and came back and traced the letters and pressed the edges down as tight as possible. I then took a razor blade and cut out the letters, making sure to cut any areas where the tap overlapped one another from top layer to bottom.
