valve covers, water pump, intake, exhaust manifolds, etc. were installed prior to engine painting, and the top of the engine was masked using a cardboard cover, allowing an "edge" of overspray on the chrome valve covers. The bypass hose on the waterpump was also installed prior to painting, and often had a little to alot of overspray on it. I've seen iron intake cars with this hose completely painted orange from the factory.
