It has held up surprisingly well so far!
It's not as tough as the old finish or powdercoat though. It got dinged a bit from install and minor impacts. But it looks like it wont be flaking off from heat.
Next chance I have I will powdercoat probably.

The key here with these valve covers is that they must be outgassed to provide a good surface for adherence for either powder coating or painting in order to provide a durable lasting finish.
