   Sand it down, few coats of primer, few coats of high temp resistant paint and your sorted, I think?
   
   Do a search, I'm sure you'll find all the proper info out that way...

   You don't need to use heat resistant paint, posi blue, priomer and laquer spray cans from halfords will be just fine.

    brake caliper paint is high temp paint you can but unless you want to have a beacon under your bonnet during the night get normal paint

    Caliper paint is high temp as calipers get very very very very hot!
    
    your rocker cover gets mildly warm compared! so use normal spray! simply prime, spray colour and laquer. you can get these sprays at halfords for around £10. jobs a good one
