Request: Get rid of yellow caps everywhere under the hood!
As the title says i want to get rid of all the ugly yellow caps for everything in the engine bay and replace them with black caps...I am going for a Red/Black theme in my engine bay and the yellow caps make it look like Ronald McDonald puked in there. Can anyone make some decent replacement caps? Also a replacement dip stick would be slick too!

Duplicolor.
Any engine enamel. You don't necessarily need the high-temp stuff either. Trick is light coats. don't just soak them. |
On My VWs aftermarket vendors did billet versions of all the caps (even the dipstick handle).
Can be done just needs a vendor to do it. TRD and STI already do oilcaps. Talk to some of the Billet vendors? |
PlastiDip

For the hell of it, i plastidip the oil cap since i replaced it to see how it would react to the rough texture of the cap. It looks pretty good and its sticking to it! |
Lexan paint is flexible.

I think it would hold up to the heat too. https://www.dipyourcar.com/
Faq says up to 312f. Fonzie even dipped some exhaust tips with no ill effect... |
Well I am attempting some rustoleum plastic paint to see how it does, if it turns out crappy I'll just clean off the paint with acetone and try plastidip!
|
Plasti ftw!
