First off, you're going to have to sand the sheet out of it to make it come out nice. Once you're done with that, lay down a couple base coats then, do a final coat but spray from far away, the pait will start to dry and it'll be all bumpy when it hits the valve cover. This is how I did mine and it came out just like OEM. Oh, and use flat red, not gloss.
