Question, engine paint

[00lara5127]

Hey guys. I was looking for a little something to spruce up my engine bay. I am running a red and black theme throughout my car, would it hurt to paint the black caps and covers and what not red? I have a can of red rustoleum paint that i was going to use. I'm not planning on painting anything important, just various caps and the big black thing in the middle that says cam on it. (excuse my lack of terms). Just wondering if anyone did anything like this and if it will work. Thanks!

I did the fuse cover too but be careful because it ends up looking more tacky than anything if you do to much

I painted most of the covers back to black and it looks alot cleaner now



Something else i did that i thinks makes a difference is i plastidiped my antifreeze, washer fluid, and powersteering fluid containers black just make sure you tape off where you measure it

What kind of paint did you use?

[wiseman]

Engine enamil or however you spell it the rustolium one for 500º

oh okay so it wasnt just normal rustoleum? it was a special kind?

normal rustoleum WILL flake eventually, brake caliper paint or the engine block paint is what you need.
