just make sure you use white primer. Also clean the cover first.

I went to walmart and bought some hi-temp engine spray.

The biggest pain for me was to pop-out the acura name plate.

Do you think I can order a second cover from the dealer and paint it, so thins way, if I don't like it, I don't have to mess with taking of the original. If so, how much do you think that cover costs????
