If I had a set of finned aluminum valve covers I wanted painted with the aluminum showing through on the fins, I would sand and prep them, spray them with whatever color paint you want. Let then dry well. Then wet sand the fins to remove the paint. First with 400 to get the most of paint off, then finer & finer to get a nice finish. Then if you want to polish the fins hand rub with some rubbing compound. Takes a little patience, but works great.
I don't have any pics. of valve covers handy, but we did these wheels that way."PLAN" your life like you will live to 120.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
