engine cover
If you were going to paint you engine cover, does anyone have any recommendations on which products to use and how to prep it?

product is your personal choice. Prep. use a 1000 grit sandpaper to sand it. it wont take much if anything away. Mask off whatever you dont want paint. I got the green 3M automotive masking tape. Then adhesion promoter. 2 to 3 coats. Then primer. 2 to 3 coats. Base color 2-3 coats and finally clearcoat 2 to 3 coats. follow the instructions in the cans for each product. I used duplicolor. But if you want color match, use automotivetouchup.com they are pretty good with their paints and match. You also could wetsand as your apply the color for a more glossy finished product.

Wonderfully Awful Idea

What Wuiquen said but wipe down clean with a non residue solvent (reducer or alcohol type) after scuffing.
