I find Simonz code number SIMVHT31C is a good match. The paint needs to be cured but, once done becomes fuel resistant.

A lot of guys use the Dupli-Color Engine Enamel ceramic. Code "DE 1615" aluminum in the squirt can. Get it at auto stores.

Camshaft:

No to bead blasting. I intend to have it vapor blasted before painting.

This!  As close to a perfect match at a reasonable price as you will find.
