Well im in the process of adding some flavor to my engine compartment, im going dark metallic blue on the FWI, engine cover, etc. to go with my red/blue/chrome color scheme.

Any suggestions for what to buy? I have never done this particular project before, so obviously most of it is plastic but the FWI is metal so im guessing I would need diff color sprays for each material. Any input is welcome. Thanks.

Krylon Fusion for the platic parts. It bonds to plastic so it wont flake off when it gets flexed.

The best for warmer parts is VHT engine paint ,the key is to get the parts as clean as possible and use multi layer technice take your time and the results will be good .

VHT is a brand name sold at most speed shops ,try Summit they carry lots of custom applications such as night shades(for tinting your tails) there stuff is about $10 a acn.
