I'm planning to paint the ugly silver hood vent on my Evo 7 as it looks out of place. How do you take it out firstly for safe painting and what type of paint is required (My guess is high temp) and how many layers do I need?

Are you talking about the silver heat shielding? Or the black metal bracket? I would not recommend painting the heat shielding (since I cant imagine the paint holding up well on what is essentially flexible aluminum foil). Lots of people just remove the heat shielding.

Sorry the pic I posted is a little deceiving. I'm actually painting the part on top.
Yea take it off and paint it with high temp paint. It'll hold up for a couple years in my experience before you have to take it off and do it again. This was on a car that was DD in a 4 season climate and not garaged so ymmv.
