Painting it is easy. since its a 94 i'd get a new valve gasket. to paint you'll need the following

high heat paint .. i think i got something over 500F .. i want to say 1000f but i could be wrong. it was way up there.

valve gasket

torque wrench .. if you have a 4cyl in the 94 it will be 7lbs of torque i believe...don't over do it, it can cause some major problems for you..not tightening it enough will cause oil to leak..i had it go in to my spark plugs..

you'll need some sealant.

a haynes manual can tell you how to take off the valve cover and where to place the sealant on the gasket.

Good luck, and post some pictures if you paint it!
