Aftermarket WHITE Engine Cover
 
Does anyone make an aftermarket white engine cover?

I can't find one anywhere! It blows my mind.

I might make an appointment to get my stock ones painted but I would much rather buy some aftermarket ones if available.

(plastidipping didn't go so well, don't like the spray can look)

I clean the hell out of my car and my engine. If anything it would help me stay on top of it.

Eh that's not the kind of quality I'm looking for lol.

Well unless you got a cover made from a chemical resistant material (such as HDPE), it WILL stain under the hood. So believe it or not, a rattle can is not a bad idea. Your other option is epoxy paint.

Since when is plastidip quality, and a spray can not... Do you realize that you can get much better and longer lasting results from a spray can?

Just use any high temp paint and remember to prep it really well.

Why bother? Save up instead and buy a supercharger or turbo. That way people will actually want to see what's under your hood instead of looking at rattle canned engine components. I have not seen a single picture after people have done this of a job that looks well done. It ALWAYS comes off cheap and ricey.

Lol.. By saying Plastidip didn't go so well I mean I don't like the look of the spray can look. I think I'm about to go get it painted at a local auto shop. They're going to smooth out the plastic and then paint the black parts satin white pearl and the silver letters black. A buddy of mine got his yellow TRD FRS engine covers hydrodipped in yellow carbon fiber about a year or 2 ago from the same place and his still looks fantastic.
