Talking Colored Engine Cover

Does any website sell already painted engine covers?

Like this - http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-01-02-03-...-/170824403978

But already painted red or blue....etc?


Please leave a link below if you find one

Well, I didn't see any guides on how to do it, Yea priming, painting seems easy, but how would i color around the lettering? Cause I want the 3.2 VTEC to be the same color, but im not sure how to paint around that and still have it look good...

Like said above you, tape it off. OR pop the piece the letters are on off and leave that un painted and paint the other 2 pieces of engine cover.

DIY job. Probably 10 bucks for painters tape, spray paint, and sandpaper. Sand it pretty well to prep surface, then lay down a coat of primer, then lay paint on. Clear if necessary.
