Saying that if you do buy it new they are a sort of gunmetal grey/titanium colour anyway and that colour looks nice with green. And all in it's about £35 with a new gasket.

You would need heat resistant paint on the rocker cover...

Haven't you got to use a special paint to withstand high temperatures and prevent pealing?
Would hammerite be good enough?
