Can anyone recommend where I can get some crackle/wrinkle spray paint suitable for use on a rocker cover & inlet manifold?

I've seen this stuff...
http://www.usautomotive.co.uk/store/scr ... roduct=346

Seems a tad bit expensive especially with the £4 odd delivery.

Also seen this...
http://www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail.asp? ... sh+(310ml)

But not sure if it'd be suitable for use on engine parts as doesn't state anything about high temperature suitability. I know these parts don't get that hot but I don't want it falling off and running all over my engine bay! :mad:

What have you used? And where did you buy it from?

I got some high temp black crackle paint from halfords few years back, was pretty good, I can only find a link to the matt finish high temp paint though

I used the frost paint on alloy cam covers and had no problems with it.
