OK,

I received a sharp new set of Aluminum "COBRA" valve covers for Christmas but like anything else I have, I can't leave well enough alone. They are finned Aluminum but the recesses are plain grey. I want to color the recessed areas black to resemble the finsh on the FMS 351w "COBRA" valve covers. I see two options.:
Painting or Powder coating.

If I go the painting route, I am assuming that I need to use some sort of High temp paint? If so does anyone know of any version that comes in a satin or gloss vs. flat black?
Powdercoating seams like a neat option but I know nothing about it. Can they powered coat them so that only the recessed areas are coated? How would they keep the coating off of the fins?

Thanks,

JB
