painted valve covers????

I need to find a place that can sort of match my paint and paint my valve cover and some other engine and brake components.
These all generate a lot of heat where they are and I am not able to find anyone to do this for me. The color I know wont match beacause it is kandy so I am just looking for a nice deep orange and if anyone also knows if this is possible "true" ceramic coating

Let me know if someone does
Thanx J

true ceramic coating is going to cost you an arm and a leg. Start calling body shops or places that rebuild motors to ask if they can spray a high temp paint on your engine parts. The valve cover really shouldn't be a problem as it doesn't get as hot as a lot of the other parts under your hood.

A paint shop can match the color and put it in an aerosol can or spray it for you for a price. Might want to look into that.

Nothing sweeter than a normal looking car with an engine bursting with colors and modificatios. It's scary when a Honda with the only visible modification is the muffler appears to have 300hp+. Can only imagine those things have tricked out shit under the hood like you guys
