I was going to powdercoat them .. but I heard powdercoating would not last long with the heat generated from it. So I'm trying to find paint that matches my car:

Powder coating is WAY more durable than paint...you heard wrong.

You can buy high temp paint at any auto parts store..

Best thing to do if you want it color matched, is lay a thick coat of high temp primer than regular single stage industrial paint mixed to match with a gun. It will stick and will last a while that way (that is how we have done show car motors, and the v8 ranger that I drag raced lasted till I sold it and that was after several races and it overheating a time or two)
