Putting some color under the hood
Hi guys, I wanna paint the plastic coil cover and the plastic piece on top. If anyone has done it or know which paint I should use please let me know.
Also if you have done it please post a pic.

That does look very good, have you seen the coil covers in black anywhere? Or do you know anyone who has painted them? Emblem pro has the writing in any color?
That engine bay does look very cool.

They say their kit sits a little higher than the cover surface because of the 3M tape that they normally ship the lettering with, but they supposedly can remove the 3M tape and let the buyer stick the lettering on using some spray or liquid adhesive which would make them sit flush or slightly lower than the surface level of the coil covers ...
Your lettering seems to sit slightly lower than flush so if you have their kit, I'm thinking that's what you did ..... lol

Very very nice...I also have Kona and thought about going red for contrast, but decided to go Kona with the Emblem Pro kit in chrome. Hopefully, the paint that I ordered will come in this week so that I can paint and instal my Steeda CAI this weekend.
But what you have done to your engine bay is awesome...Great Job!!!
