Engine bay got you down...Clean it up with a new cover.

What did you use to paint the GMC emblem on the truck? I'm talking about the plastic strip in the engine bay above the radiator.

What kind of paint did you use on the engine cover and can you use plasticdip on the engine cover? Johnnykinsler43

If I remember correctly I just used Rust-oleum High Performance Enamel spray paint. I didn't take my time and it didn't come out great so I may have it don't professionally at some point. And I don't see any reason plastidip wouldn't work, probably would work better than what I used but I wanted a glossy and glass-like finish.

Thanks for the idea. It is an easy mod to do on a new truck that will not hurt the warranty!

I had mine on for a while, still have to hydro dip it but, has anyone tried doing anything with the valvecover covers?

Those could be painted/ hydrodipped as well and may look nice.
