Send it to Ricky for quality results.

If you want to do it yourself:

-Remove the valve cover.
-Buy a can of aircraft paint remover, in the can, not the aerosol.
-Paint the aircraft remover onto the painted surface per the directions. Do this OUTSIDE, in an open area. You do not want to be around these fumes for very long.
-Wait for the paint to bubble off, spray it off with a hose.

-Tape over the spark plug tube holes, and the oil cap hole.
-Get your paint. You want to use a primer for the best adhesion. Go to the auto parts store for a good selection of colors.
-Primer, then paint. Follow the directions on the can.
-Let it dry.
-Sand off the paint from the "Honda Motor Co."
-replace the gaskets, and install.

Im sure there are more detailed DIY's out there on the internet. This is just a basic rundown.

I'd start by cleaning the engine bay. The paint the valvecover and repaint your intake arm

I personally wouldn't send the valve cover and having to pay to get it painted but it's pretty easy to make it look good, just get some

sand paper(optional)
brake clean (some say aircraft remover, but brake clean eats it right up too)
rags and water (to clean up the left over mess)
and some high temp paint(spray with light coats for best results)

and bam your bay looks 10x better
