Hi there fella - hope you are well??
When I did mine, I bought some high temperature crackle black paint along with some paint stripper for the original gunk that was on the cam cover. Once sprayed up (you can see the results on my build thread) I took it to a local machine shop and had them clean off the pain on the raised lettering by milling 'min to clean'.
Now, that works for the black cam cover or any other colour that's plain, but... If you want the Evo 2 look then that's when I haven't a clue....!
Good luck!

Brake calliper paint works and tends to be gloss rather than matt.
