that paint looks good however if it was me, first I would research what temp the rocker can get to, then I would buy paint with a decent name to it. Remember to seal it with "engine laccer"

plug with newspaper is very risky, its not much work to get the cam cover off and its so much easier once its removed.

prep is always key to a good job, spend time degreasing every little corner and the finish will be well worth your time.
