A quest for pink....

Okay so as a lot of you know I had an awesome shopping trip for parts. Well I want to paint the block and valve covers and I have already stopped by my parts store and no cigar. I'm looking for a high temp magenta (fancy way of saying pink). Needless to say its not a high demand color. I intend to paint the block 'fancy pink' and the valve covers black. Yes ubder sexy. What I need from you guys is a brand/site to order from reference. My boys can't order it and I rather get aerosol can for ease of use. Cause I'd rather order my primer and paint all in one whack.

Powder coat and done. Thousands of colors to choose from.

Some powder coaters will / won't do blocks, so you may have to rattle can it (you probably won't get a spot on color match, but a VG block isn't all that visible anyway).

If you want to rattle can the whole thing, there are many websites that sell high temp "engine" paint.

And on the same topic of pink... just making sure you've seen this.

Mine will not be that color. I'm doing a hot pink pearl on the bottom and a pearl black on the top and have conquest wheels on it. I will also be customizing the interior similar to the shiro with black leather.

Most, if not all, auto paint suppliers can mix up a custom color and package it in an aerosol can. You can pick any shade of magenta (hmmm, , but it is your car) your heart desires. What I don't know if they can do so with a heat-resistant formulation. One phone call should resolve that issue.

Lol I'm only doing the block that color and the pearl color is close to that. Its a darker pink. I figure that wotj the black valve covers would be rather sharp looking.
