Just make sure you get a paint made for plastic. Most plastics dont take paint very well. Also make sure you clean it REALLY good, any oils and the paint wont take.

Would I be able to get it in an aerosol can? Asking cause I have a lot of experience with spray paint and none with brush paint.

To add to this, I painted my supercharger'* wire cover with a whole lot of coats of high temp engine spray paint, and then I put on even more clear coat paint. It'* really shiny.

Any suggestions on what color I should paint it? I'm gonna paint the strut bar and the valve covers red but I dont want the cover to be red as well, the lettering being red wouldnt bother me. Anyway, ideas?
