Painting engine top cover?

[Drnick]

Can u paint engine cover?, and if so, what paint is compatible with that type of plastic?,
And how do you prep plastic so paint will last
Under that type of heat.

I did a hydrodip which has held up well.

This is something I was wondering myself. I tend to be a wizard with a rattle can but the cover is almost tacky and textured so I haven't touched it.

Did mine with VHT. It’s a bit off in color. Probably going to paint it black at some point…or not.

I think hydro dip is the way to go.

Enamel paint and high temp clear coat.

Just need to know what “rattle can” stuff
That would stick to the cover, and survive
The heat.

Pulled the trigger and painted it yellow. Was bored one day. Actually turned out alright. Will serve nicely until I throw some cut carbon under there.
