Default Paint for Fuel Rail Covers

First off, I know how many times this topic has probably been covered. However I recently bought an extra set of fuel rail covers to try to paint. My biggest hurdle is I’m trying to match my paint color which is, Fairway Green.

I know most threads have suggested paint such as Dupli high heat engine paint but I can’t seem to find a color to match the Fairway Green.

I was able to find this, https://everestautomotivemarket.com/...iABEgJVGPD_BwE
however I don’t know if that would keep up with the heat from the engine.

Was wondering if anyone had any ideas or what I should use to try to match my color.

Thanks for the help!

When I had my fuel rail covers painted, the painter used the same paint you would put on the exterior of your car and a similar clear coat. To ensure adhesion, a good primer was used for plastic.

Looked great and never had any peeling problems.

Look up automotive touch up. They mix any color to your color code. And you can get it mixed in spray paint cans

I’m with everyone else. Regular automotive paint will be fine. Those covers aren’t subject to anymore heat than a cars finish sitting out in the sun on a hot day.
