halfords do a high temperature red enamel which is pretty good

From looking at it... The original finish is a powder coat...

So perhaps get it bead blasted and re-powder coated in a decent epoxy finish? Needs to be able to withstand heat and oil....

Or get it chromed :p

the above sounds expensive! the foiltec stuff is cheap and cheerful, i re did my accord type r rocker cover with it and it worked a treat!

i can get them repowder coated it cost Â£100 expensive but the best finish!
if thats any help mate!
other wise use ht paint mixed down abit (cos ht paint is a bit bumpy) for a cheep option but not sure how long it lasts!
