When I needed a colour match paint for my car - went to the parts department of local pug dealer, they could have got me the paint in spray or brush on form!!
You could ask them bout doin the rockers covers and see wot they say, at least then you will have a perfect colour match!!

Yep it would - could you not ask pug if they do a paint that can stand heat!!
The only prob I see is that the heat proof paint will not be the colour of your car.

Might just paint it a different colour bright yellow or red or summat cos prob cant get the exact colour in heat proof paint. Just doin some bits to engine coloured hoses and stuff still waitin for a 1.6 conversion with turbo my mate is doin got loads of work to do to the engine to withstand it then the car needs strengthening. Worth the wait when its done though

Sounds like it will be good!! Yeah get the heat proof paint in a diff colour to your car, that will be best!!

Why not use caliper paint or high temp paint.......should get both from Halfrauds or local car shop.
