I've just done mine in the paint Angus recommended - VHT Red Wrinkle Finish Spray Paint SP204 (£12.45 off eBay).
I only did the exhaust side, since that was the only one the paint was coming off (due to higher temperatures). Pretty happy with it - got my son Cameron to do it, he held the can too close and it went on a bit thick but looks OK, and he did a good job of the masking.
The final colour is slightly brighter than the original, although that could be down to 25 years of engine bay muck staining the original. The wrinkle finish is different from the smoother finish on the original, so I think I'll have to do the inlet cover as well, just to make sure they match.
