I'm not to impressed with the looks of the series 1 engine covers. Styling is ok but the color is a little bland, so I want to paint it. Would I be better off using a high temp engine paint or just regular spray paint? It doesn't get to hot to touch at all but since it is right next to th engine I thought I'd ask.

Any what color should I use? I got a black SSEi and I have opted for a blue color for wires (best contrast of colors I think) and will probably get blueish neon eventually too. Should I stick with the blue color for the cover or should I do something more nuetral like a black or silver (wannabe chrome)? I'm not looking for an entirely blue engine, but blue accents would be nice?

Any thoughts?

I painted mine already! I used anodized high temp paint. check it out here:

Look in "My Cars" Folder, then "92 Pontiac Bonneville SE" Folder!

Take a look at my website, too. I used a hi-temp cast looking paint on the SC cover, then sanded the lettering off to stock. It actually looks like metal now, just darker than the original gray.

I painted my engine cover with simple high heat paint from autozone.

I just went out and bought some nice blue high temp paint and painted my covers. Looks better then stock. Still need to do the lettering yet though. Now I just need to clean up some other pieces and I'll be ready to go. I'll get pics in the next few days.

Thanx for your inout!

Do they sell Silver (not chrome) heat paint?

When I was at the parts store I looked for a chrome paint just to compare. They had no chrome engine paint and most of the silver was more of a gray in color.

I would use paint for headers . They hold up to the most heat . They've lasted 2 years on my other cars headers so they should stick on plastic for life . The cans are hard to find . , I got mine at

I got 2 pics here. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, last two. I still need to paint the lettering so it stands out more.
