Hi guys!!

Possibly a very simple yet silly question, so i want my hood vent black. I am unsure wether i am supposed to paint the vent itself black from silver, and also the mesh on the hood, or simply just the mesh. Can someone pleaaaase help because i really think it adds a nice look to a white evo. I was thinking of taking the silver vent off, spraying it with a heat resistant paint, and the also spraying the mesh on the bonnet. If there is a proper way of getting it how i want it, can someone please let me know

Thanks fellas!

 

Yep I spray the mesh once a year on mine. I use a High Heat Black also. It never seems to hold up longer than that for me before it starts chipping off

You can spry the louvered vent just the same. I threw mine out a decade ago.

 

I'm actually due for mine to be re-done ....I first sprayed mine back in 2010 and has lasted me until 2014 even in the direct sunlight

 

Your exhaust manifold hardware and freeze plugs will suffer from excess rain

 

I have the stock seibon hood so I periodically get some high temp paint and paint the mesh black on mine as well. A good solid coat on it or two and it usually lasts a solid year or two.
