Engine bay caps colored red?

I have the red Perrin inlet hose and my engine cover will be glossy red soon, to match. I'm thinking about plasti dipping all the yellow caps in the engine bay to make it all match and look better. Any opinions on this? Will red plasti dip stick and stay nice on these parts? Here's a picture for reference. Like the washer fluid, dipstick, etc.

I use plasti dip all the time. It should hold up to the heat just fine, just make sure you have a few good coats on. Make sure it's completely dry before putting all the caps back on, plasti dip when dry to the touch can still be pretty soft.
