there is no paint on the stock valve covers. they are a solid composite.
just replace the gaskets and paint them when you have them off.
if you want to paint them ahead of time, there are some on ebay, http://search.ebay.com/search/search...ers&category0=

You will need these, as you have a LN3 with the tube in the front valve cover.

Yes the 88-89 LN3 used the Aluminum Valve covers... For the 1990-1991 Models they used the Composite
