Hey,

I would like to paint the engine cover on my A4. Just to get a little color under the hood! I think i've seen this done before. The cover was painted yellow. Could anyone offer me help on the kind of paint i should use?

Thanks!!

You'll nead to use a plastic primer first or the paint will peel off after a while.

I went to 4 stores and at the 4th i finally found a paint that works on plastics. i'm sort of hesitant however because it says "do not apply to sufaces that reach temperatures above 200 deg. F" If I apply the paint to the exterior of the plastic cover, will the temp. reach above 200?

Hope not!!!

Yes. On a hot summer day in heavy traffic, easily.
