Ford Plenum Cover Rub Marks

Ford Plenum Cover Rub Marks
Shortly after installing the Ford Plenum Cover, I'm starting to get black rub marks on the top middle of the cover from the hood liner. I tried cleaning it off but I think it's the plenum paint coming off.
Anyone have this problem and does anyone have a fix?

have the same problem and i do not think it is fixable, but then again MWAG makes the fuel rail covers the same color as the factory frod cover so if they sell a touch up paint it would be awesome

This was a prior topic. Some people have had luck using carpet tape between the hood liner & hood. I never got that ambitious, I keep a folded washcloth on top of the cover where the liner contacts. Stays in place & keeps the paint from wearing off.

i had the same problems, but with the fuel rail covers from MWAG. I called them and they do not sell touchup paint.
I tried calling ford to see if they had the touchup paint and they didn't even know what I was talking about
. So I went to a local hobby store and checked out their paints, found one called aluminum and tried it and it matched almost perfectly, if I look close you can see where I touched up but from a distance it looks great. Hope this helps.

This fix doesn't really work. Tried it. The 2007 owners are lucky because the hood liner is different than the ones on the 2005-2006 cars. I figure for $49 for the intake cover who cares. When it gets ugly enough I'll just buy a new one.
