Might be a bad thing to mention but your local Hardly Dangerous dealer sells (for about 15 bucks) black wrinkle paint that is a close match in a rattle can

a little tip...
prep the VC.
paint with the HD wrinkle paint.
sit the VC on top of a kerosene heater for a while.
you can watch the wrinkle start popping up.
makes for a very nice finish.

Blowerbike,

Could one put it in a warm oven? Say 200 degrees? I don't have a kerosene heater

Thank you all.

sure i guess.
a guy showed me this years ago and it made for a factory finish.

I always baked my wrinkle paint stuff in the oven. Works like a charm. Just make sure you don't forget the part in there though. Leave it in long enough for the valve cover to become warm all the way through to say 200 degrees and then take it out to air. The heat in the valve cover will cure the paint and the gases will evaporate faster than inside the oven, giving you a flawless finish in pretty much no time at all.

Thanks for your reply

Krylon makes black wrinkle too. And you can use plain old sunlight to heat the part (Unless you're single & don't have an old lady to nag at you). Needs to be an area that is relatively breeze free for best results.
