   if your gonna paint anything under the bonnet u will definately be better with temp resistant paint
   
   or if u wana just clean it - get sum degreaser and give it a steam clean and/or a good scrub

   you can take off the rocker cover but you have to be careful. and have something to cover it while the covers off to stop dust etc getting in
   
   your also best taking manifold cover off and just giving it a good clean and polish, with proper metal polish
