Quick question...
Sorry if this has been asked five million times, but I just have a quick question..
For those of you who have painted your engine covers, what type of paint do you use? Photos? I'm wanting to paint mine but I don't want it to look bad. I tried searching but I didn't really find what I was looking for. |

I just wanted something simple so I had it painted RJT like the car. Four Years and no issues.

1- wet sand
2-blow dry with air [ make sure all moister is gone] 3 - 2 coats self etching primer , I used rustolium spray can 4- used regular car paint in spray can, [make sure all primer is covered] 5- topped of with 3 coats of clear coat paint, also used rustolium spray paint. You can buy primer and clear coat paint at local hardware store or walmart. Hope this helps. |

Just be careful when removing, parts of the cover are flexible and some types of paint will crack when flexed

I got one of these from a member on here and it looks sweet.
I own a graphics shop I ended up putting vinyl lettering on it and I'll do some graphics later. Paint is nice, but I love that vinyl is completely removable when needed, that way I can change up the look any time I feel like it lol. If you want something up just message me. I'll put a pic up when I get a chance to snag one.

yea these are a little tougher to paint because they have a texture to them, but you'll do fine. post some pics when you get done.
