I love the look of painted valve covers and was wondering what else is safe to paint under the hood (Plastic/Metal)? Thanks in advance.

same here, i am interested in painting anything i can under the hood.

try painting your bolts...

 

[worldwar3]

probably the hoses...the hood stand....intake tube...fuse box...i dont really know...

 

[intsoda]

what kind of paint do you use the paint alll that stuff with and how much would they cost

 

[Rainman]

just use High temp paint

I painted the fuse box, header heat shield, and abs fuse box. I also painted the plug wires once which completely messed my car up. DO NOT paint the plug wires. but hey i learned from my mistake. As for the hoses, i think the things that go around the hoses look best taht you can buy for real cheap.

Do you mind me asking, what happend when you painted the plug wires?

 

[worldwar3]

yea high temp paint should work...directly from your auto store

you can buy new spark plug wires with any colors. buy the plugs and paint whatever you can.

Ya I made the same mistake and painted my plug wires once, the paint chips off easily and they wires become very brittle.

you can't paint anything under the hood as long as you take the right type of prepping into consideration. Also the right type of paint. Think about how hot it really gets under the hood and where the hot spots are. But i would go all high temp paint just in case. There are all types of colors so good luck.
