   yeh it's fine to use normal spray paint, the rocker cover doesn't really get hot enough to melt the paint. The colour code is either on the inside of the door or stamped on the right hand strut under the bonnet. There's two types of silver for saxos. Quartz silver and arctic steel. The code for quarts is EYC, not sure about arctic steel though...
