Clear Rocker Cover Paint

I have spent many a tedious hour getting my V8 Aluminium Rocker Covers to a mirror finish. I am happy to say they are flipping brilliant. I have even detailed them with black stripes in the groves....... However a few months under the bonnet and I am sure they will oxidise back to double dull aluminium. Has anyone got any experience with clear paint on polished ally surfaces that get hot????

here is one I prepared earlier.

I sprayed it with RFU clear laquer.

I suppose I should take photo of how it looks now.....
