I did not sand the factory paint at all. Just made sure the surface was as clean as I could get it.

Thanks! not crappy in the least... sometimes pictures worth a 1,000 words. Very helpful...

Anyone with experience Plasti-Dipping parts in the engine bay? Wondering how it holds up.

Hmmm not sure. When PlastiDip gets warm, it gets softer and more pliable. What were you thinking of doing? I wouldn't be too concerned unless its on or near a high-temp part.

I'm thinking to do (EVO IX MR) the front Mitsubishi diamond emblem. Note: running a Full Race Prostock exhaust manifold, so probably a little hotter than stock cast iron.

Also, I was thinking to plasti-dip a aluminum GReddy catch can located about where the stock airbox would be.

Wondering if better to paint with high-temp paint or give the plasti-dip a try first.

Thanks for any inputs...

The emblem is perfectly fine and so should the catch can, as long as its not sitting too close to the hot pipe or manifold.
