Is there a suggested brand to use when painting things under the hood? I am simply painting the engine cover red as many users have already. Since so many people have done it already figured I would come on here for some pointers.

 

As long as you use a high-temperature paint you should be fine. I think I used Krylon on my Honda, not sure what color has come out the best for EVO owners though.

 

yep high temp paint any kind Igot engine enamal 500 degree stuff no problems what so ever, clean the cover, sand very lightly then spray a few coats on it, I let mine dry overnight before I put it back on....

 

awesome, thanks.

 

your welcome

 

hey jeremy did you tune with the pill yet?

 

Actually i'd venture to say use whatever you like if your painting the plastic. There are a few guys out here that have used regular duplicolor to paint their evo8 valve cover and i doubt that your plastic cover will even get that hot.

 

i used dupont color match on my old car.. not a problem.. but i did use a high temp clear coat too..

i dunno. i wanna paint mine.. but i dont think im going red.. hmmmm... i think i have a better idea.. being im not an evo..

 

I have the boost pill ready, but my intake comes in tomorrow. Going to get a hold of TTP and get a time set up to bring it in ^^

 

thats what i did. i went with silver. i think it looks better IMO

 

im about to run out and but some red caliper paint, make a nice brembo knock-off.
would this paint work for engine covers as well? it is high-temp resistant

 

yes it should

 

this is a nice idea, could the ones who have done this mod please posts some pictures, im still unsure about what colors i would like to do mine. thanks

 

I will post a pic tomarrow mines red.
