    rocker cover and engine bits paint colour?

    im in the process of painting my mounts, rocker, inlet manifold, and various brackets. ive tried a high temp siver/grey and a high temp alluminium but there jus not right.

    can anyone give me either a product or paint colour to use?

    You could try some other paints, there's a guide to painting rocker covers on retro renault and the guy mentions the rubbish selection of high temp colours. He said he used a normal non high temp paint and his has been fine.
