engine paint

i just installed an AEM SRI(blue). i want to paint the other parts of the engine the same color, but i dont know the exact kind of blue. could someone help me out? but before i installed the intake, i painted the fuse box cover, battery tie down, and spark plug cover a different color. how do i get that paint off without damaging the plastic? cause my friend told that if i use paint remover, it might melt the plastic.

Very fine sand paper should work. Try starting with 1000 or 800 grit, and see if it works. If not, try 600, then 400 until it starts taking the paint off. When it is off, then go over it with 1000 or 1200 or something to smooth it out. Wash, dry and repaint it.

If the AEM blue is darker, you could just paint right over it...

The color of the blue AEM intake is electric blue, just like the 99 Civic Si's. I suggest you use a high temp. paint so the color won't fade.
