you dont need heat proof paint for the rocker cover, just sand it, prime it, paint it and laquer as you would with a centre console etc. You dont even need to take it out the car, just take some time to mask off the seal and parts and a dust sheet for the rest of the engine bay and do it in the car
with the fanimold i did the same as above but the laquer melts abit when it gets hot, but then resets after it cools, still looks just as good as when i painted it, you could just not laquer it and it would be ok, only spray the top (visable) side

a good 4 layers of some laquer and leave to dry for a week to full harden, you dont really need high temp paint as said
