looks awesome, i have heard of people having troubles with their cars after taking the valve cover off and not changing the gasket.
I've never had any trouble using the same gasket and I have taken my valve cover off about 3 times. What i do is clean the grove where the gasket sits in the cover andthe edge surface of the head very well and add gasket sealer.

just paint it and wet sand the letters down, it looks much better, powdercoating is just too much of a hassle and too expensive for such a small job.
