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) Last edited by Benschneider06; 06-30-2015 at 09:26 PM. |

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.
