Agreed, if it's easy to clean off, then I see no problem with the
full coverage approach.
The OE covers were painted only on the outside. I assume this did
away with the possibility of paint flaking off and mixing with the
oil. I've always stuck with this approach when repainting covers.
Have you seen any sign of paint coming off?
