Cellulose paint will be fine as well mate. I imagine you'll get a better finish with it as well.
I got mine powdercoated instead.

Bit stiff ye.. I prised it out with a flat head underneath the gasket. Will come out eventually Well the mani cover is more than likely be hotter than the rocker, so ye.. use high temp lol

does it not ruin the seal on the rocker cover or does it just tighten back up with the bolts

Just get a new gasket (seal) mate, might aswell. The gasket does come off so you can just put it back on when you finish painting it. You won't damage it, just don't pierce it or something stupid like that lol.
