Lightbulb 95 XJR Valve Cover [cap] Restore

Hello, all,

The engine compartment of my 95 XJR is probably as clean as it's going to get w/o doing a shampoo (I refuse to shampoo the engine) but one thing that I'd like to do is re-paint the red Jaguar letters on the valve cover cap.

Just wondering if anyone has come across the perfect colour match to do this.

Thanks.
Shaune.

Default Done!

I ended up getting some [high-heat manifold] paint from Canadian Tire to do this. It was bothering me as the rest of the engine cleaned up quite well.
