You can rattle can it, although I can't. I stink at painting, and not afraid to admit it! LOL

The cover doesn't get that hot. I used Krylon on mine, and it has lasted 2 years in Phoenix.

FreddyD,
ITS ALL UP TO YOU, THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND DIFFERENT PAINTS YOU CAN USE TO GET IT DONE CORRECTLLY. THE REAL JOB IS THE PREP WORK, AND MASKING. IF YOU PREP REIGHT IT CAN TURN OUT REALLY WELL FROM JUST RATTLE CANS. BE SURE TO CLEAR IT. SEVERAL TIMES! BUT IF YOU ARE A NOVICE, ID PREFFER A SHOP. IMO BUT AS I SAID ABOVE, IT CAN BE DONE! GOOD LUCK! |

Prep work is the key…
Be sure to use adhesion promoter ( find it in auto parts store) This is what I used for my covers & strut tower brace
