FWIW, I've never had a problem with using paint that wasn't High Temp. I've used everything from crappy $.98 a can spray from wal-mart to Testor's model Spray Enamel....they all work just fine...until I start turning wrenches and chip the **** outta it.

Since you want to run a gunmetal color for the runners, you could use the Duplicolors' wheel paint. That stuff is a high temp paint... well, not a high temp, but higher.. (its got to take heat genrated by brakes/wheels/air)
as for the blue, it depends on what year your car is. The 92's had a Royal Blue. Were as the 94-95's had a Moonlight blue... which is like a metalic royal blue(it has pearl in it..)
but you could probably find something close to the cars color and most wouldnt notice.

When I did my intake, I think I used the high temp. duplicolor paint. There isn't as great of a selection of colors so you may want to do what someone else suggested. But, if you do get the high temp. paint, buy it from wallmart as it is $2 cheaper then auto zone.

High temp is not necessary. I just used the same paint that I used to paint the car with to paint the intake and valve covers.
