Painted CAI and Engine Cover

So I finally got around to painting my blue Cosmo CAI. I just think that orange stands on its own and doesn't need a sidekick color like blue. So orange went the CAI and Orange and silver went the engine cover. So anyway, does anyone know how to remove the black header covers on a base vibe? Post it if ya know.

It's actually a color I got from AutoZone, Dupli-Color Metal Specks, the "official name" for it is MS100 Metal Spacks Burnt Copper, it says that above the bar code. Also, I hand painted the VVT-i 16 Valve and trim with a chrome paint I got at AutoZone and put 3 layers of clearcoat on it. BTW is there anyone else that has painted their CAI or engine cover orange?

It only comes in black. You will have to paint it to get a different color.
