i am looking to paint some of the various plastic pieces in my engine compartment, and i was hoping for some input from someone who has done it before. what paint brand would you recommend? i have the blue m3, and i want to match that color. any recommendation or things you noticed while doing this would be great. also, any pictures would be appreciated. thanks.

 

check out duplicolors website for plastic paints and engine enamels.

 

Make sure to use a plastic primer or adhesion promoter (if painting plastic) otherwise the paint will peel off, you wont need to use high temp paint for the plastics the engine enamels are for extremely hot surfaces, like engine block, for for insane hot surfaces like headers or turbo piping you will need the high heat (1200°f) but this one comes in 6 colors only....



I used adhesion promoter and regular (not for plastic) silver base and red candy ink

 

Shinny !
