Paint it one color, let it dry fully. Then tape up where you want the first color and paint the second color. Then let dry and remove the tape.

so just like painting a car okay and what paint do i use and thanks for the info

Spray paint works. Although, if you have a compressor and a real paint gun you can use that as well.

I've never had a problem. You can use engine enamel if you're worried about it.

Make sure to use multiple layers of that clear. and buff it after it cures ( 5hrs or more after last spray) painted several valve covers but only saw a good shine after buffing it.
