Painted my valve cover....{Photo video inside}

So I wanted to paint my valve cover, after talking with a friend, getting opinions and what not, I settled on a color. I can't say I absolutely love it, but I'm very happy with it. And obviously I can change it later if I find a color I like more.

Thanks all. Not in the Army, but I do like that shade of green. It is actually camo green (very flat), but I used high temp clear coat on it to protect it. I'm probably not going to paint anything else in the engine bay to match it. I was thinking about black, but a lot of people have done that.
