Has anyone here tried this? I took mine off the other day to see how easy it is to remove, and yeh its really easy - just a few bolts.
So Im thinking about giving the engine/spark plug cover a nice bright coat of paint just to give my engine bay a bit of a nicer look about it. I did this to my previous car, but painted the actual rocker cover (so I needed to remove the entire rocker cover and re-seal the gasket). But luckily with the VR4 we can get away with just painting the plastic cover.
What type of paint would be recommended? For my rocker cover, I used VHT engine enamel which did a really good job. Hasnt flaked at all in 2 years. So Im wondering if the same paint could be used on the plastic, or is there another type of paint that needs to be used? Does it need to be heat resistant?
My next decision is what colour to paint it! I may need to paint the ends of the strut brace to match.
