Not sure as the other stuff is generally rated to about 1200 degrees.
I have no idea how hot a bay actually gets.

Just do it with normal car paint it will be fine for everything except the actual engine head/block and exhaust.

want to paint the bit that says ecotec, like the main part if you get me, the bit surrounding ecotec, and the ecotec bit?
that would need HTP surely, no?

Don't paint it 'roughly' the same colour, it will looks shit. It's not hard to find out the name of the colour, go to halfrauds and get the paint. You won't need high temp paint for the actual engine bay.

The rocker cover will be fine. I painted mine with normal car paint, lasted forever -
