Default DupliColor paint for Valve Cover...is it good?

I'm painting the valve cover for my B18C and I was wondering if I could use the DupliColor paint line to paint the vc? I went to my local Auto Zone and Pep Boys and there's not much of a good selection of colors to choose from when using high-temp paint, so I was wondering if the DupliColor touch-up paint line is good for valve covers?

I plan to use a high-temp primer if possible and a high-temp clear coat if possible also, but the paint is what I'm worried about most. Don't want it to fade or peel. I also don't want the wrinkle paint thing either......want it to look like if it was powder coated...hehehehe!

What other paint line can yall recommend?

Yes, I know, should've done a search and I did, but the results still did not answer my question....Besides, I've noticed that Dupli Color has a very big selection of colors.
