Question Engine Paint

Hello All! I am wanting to paint my battery/brake fluid cover as well as the engine cover blue to match my body paint. Any ideas on where to do this and what paint to use?

You can get cans of touch-up spray paint that match the Nissan colors exactly from www.towerpaint.com

The code for DB is B17.

You also want to get some Bulldog Adhesion Promoter to put on the plastic pieces first. Without it the paint won't stick properly.

KRYLON makes an excellent pllatic spray paint called "InFusion".

I do not know if you can match your paint exactly, but I did see a post in the past that stated they used an Infusion blue that the eye could not see the difference.

The pictures below are with InFusion paint:

I want to paint my engine DB but the Infusion I saw at walmart didnt even resemble. I guess they have other shades of blue, but not at walmart. Wish I could find some though.
