I did the same thing to my intake/valve covers but mine is red and it's PPG DBU base coat/clear coat. Concept is good paint I use it quite often.
I did the intake/valve covers in my former '85 as well. It looked like new when I sold the car years after I did it. The easiest way to do it is have the parts bead blasted then etch prime, sealer, paint. It will look good for years!

It might have been me.
Pics are all in "My Corvette Photos".
I had previously painted my factory long tube with Accel runners and BM base set-up.
Then the SR.
Then the MR.
Now the C4SP is powdercoated.
The SR was done back in '94, the MR in '00, and the C4SP about 2 months ago. All of these options hold up very well.
