I was wondering if anyone has painted their engine cover or if there is any sort of way to paint intake tubing with high temp paint. I've always wanted my engine compartment to have a bit of flair and after going to a car show a while back, now I definitely want to.

Also is there anyone that sells engine compartment lights? Thanks. (Using it for nighttime car shows)

What’s an engine casing ?
I’ve seen on here some really pretty painted engine covers - I think it was painted blue. I think I also saw painted intake tubing and that didn’t impress me like the painted engine cover. Things like after market hoses and connections look great... |

I had mine CF dipped and then the raised sections painted with a pinstripe brush (I think).

It's not perfect around the edges it's a little wavy but I wasn't about to spend $1K for the Eventuri cover.

Thanks! L.I.P. calls it hydrographics AKA water transfer printing. I have a friend in West Chester, not far from Otto's - might need to swing by there next time I'm up there.
