What kind of paint to use in order to get the engine cover and battery cover SSM? ANY SUGGESTIONS? and how much would it run

You call up an auto paint store/body shop and order SSM paint in a spray can...use a couple of coats of a high build primer on the engine cover, and a couple of coats of paint with ample drying time in between. I'm not sure on the price of it, I got my paint for free through my dad's friend.

pick up the phone book and look for your local automotive paint stores. most can custom mix and put it into a spray can. all you need to do is give them your paint code.

it should be like 15-20 bucks (atleast around here it is)

Np!

and allie is correct with a nice high build primer to smooth the surface out. scuff teh plastic with a 3m scuff pad. then prime (sand primer smooth if needed). then paint

bro, buy a can of their "sandable primer" in white. Spray like 2-3layers of that (spray evenly and like 10inches away so its thin and even) and then use the spray pain of your choice.

Now, i also tried some of their metalic sprays and they suck. Mine came out good but it lasted a week. So i bought some red brake caliper paint (injen cai is chrome with red rubbers) its 1200*F heat resistant -unnecesary but it stays- and when it was done with, it came out smooth, bright and very clean.

Also try bbq grill paints, or engine/caliper paints. These are opaque, they got cool colors and one can will paint the whole cover, battery cover and the other 3-4 covers around the engine bay.

if you want it to look better, get a profesional paint that **** with car paint and dont worry, be happy

since when did they start iding people for paint.????/?

just get a good primer and paint. heat paint is not necessary. automotive paint will have the most choices and great colors.

if my car wasnt white, i would def color match the engine cover. thats the cheapest but hottest mod you can do

its funny in my pic it looks like there is NO way that paint matches my car but held up to the side, its a perfect match. i painted my grill and wing at teh same time and they are perfect. must be lighting
