yea the valve cover looks like crap and the top of my fuel filter looks bad trying to make things look a tad bit better
is the valve cover hard to remove it looks like a tight squeeze between it and the top of the firewall
so would normal spray paint work well or would i have to use the high temp paint i dont want to have to redo this in a month

I didn't use any special paint on mine. They grey is John Deere Construction Charcoal, and the Maroon is Snap-On Cranberry touch up paint for my tool box. The temperatures shouldn't get too high to warrant high temp paint. Mines holding up pretty well so far.
If you crank your speakers, you can hear it in this video:
I bet that truck screams I would love to hear it.

the cover is pretty tight coming in and out. id atleast get some 500 degree paint, it wont rub off if you spill somthing on it, and will last quite a while. also mine was real bad as you can see in the picture, i pressure washed it really good, then to remove the old paint/clear coat i used paint stripper, and a small wire brush to get in and around the fuel filter bracket/intake grid plenum.
