one other important tip is to always check the paints humidity numbers. it's very important. you don't want to paint when humidity is to high or if it's to cold. I won't paint if the humidity is over 50% and if it's below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. easy way to remember this is just remember 50/50.
What if I'm satisfied with the color of my engine color but I want a high gloss clear? What preparations do I need to make before spraying clear on it?
Came out looking good, dude. I personally would of let the paint cure for longer before applying the clear coat, and then would of waited like 12 before touching it with my hands to avoid finger prints. But that's just the way I learned. Good work, Milan!
Looks awesome. What kind of brand primer , paint and clear coat did you used?? Where to buy it?? How long keep great paint on the engine cover without any issues?? Thanks
Dope I'm doing my jeep hemi in cosmic blue color shift and painting the raised letters in mayan gold metallic then sticker bombing the center piece with nasal stickers and clear coating the whole thing hope it comes out nice lol
Great vid! Question, when I bought my car engine cover was already painted. From the looks of it , it doesn't have primer. So, just wanna know how I can remove the paint?
What is the best paint marketing name for heat resistant to paint engine plastic rubber pips and other plastic surface parts like engine cover for example? Would appreciate it if you advise please
Watching u spray clear coat had my OCD killing me!!!! Painting first coat should’ve been vertical then second horizontal or vice-versa ... make sure u start off the object n make a complete pass all the way across... just some tips on getting better coverage
Look like u use that high heat paint not just the regular plastic paint in the link in ur description so did the high heat paint work with the plastic after a while
I would mask the emblems before you start sanding and while youre sanding if you mess up the tape by scuffing it up with the sand paper just remask, because when he was demasking his emblems u can see where he scratched them with the sandpaper
Very good. When you use spray paint.. each stroke should go PAST the piece... don't change direction while hovering over the piece, because where you change direction will get extra paint. The reason you're getting "tiger stripes" is because you're "spot" painting. Do looong strokes in each direction.
I am Looking to do this to my 5.7 covers. But I'm looking for a very bright red is there any suggestions and what paint and Brent to get perhaps even a part number or paint code
Hey sorry to bother you but an engine light came on on my golf, I reset it and it showed up around 250 miles later, code P0401, I know it probably just a carbon filled EGR but what tools altogether would I need for it? It's a 2005 mk 5 Golf and I need it quickly, I don't have time to get it done by a mechanic my nearest mechanics take days for an oil change, so any help would be appreciated thank you.
i just want to paint my engine cover and fuse box cover my air filter cover the hose from the air filter to the throttle body a nice bright yellow color all those parts are hard plastic parts i'm tired of seeing them that black color i want to see the engine bay a bright yellow color can it be done and so i need a clear coat?
I would also highly recommend you cover the entire thing with some kind of box to keep dust and crud in the air that will stick onto it while it dries in between coats. The finish in the end a bit more nice doesnt look too bad here as you are far away from treed and such that can get on.
Not that I own a car or am old enough to own a car but would you recommend using plastic dip to go over the emblems. Great video you have earnt a new subscriber!
Macca_Jaspar Using plasti-dip anywhere near the engine under the hood is risky and i wouldnt recommend it since plasti-dip has the potential to melt and ruin the area its on because of the hot engine temperatures. I'd stick to using engine enamel or other high temp resistant type of products.
Pretty much! If you have matte white paint, you'd use that. Otherwise, if you have regular white paint, you can follow it up with matte clear coat to get the colour and finish you're looking for
how is it holding up, i know it's high temp paint but i still would assume the paint will crack with all the heating up and cooling down thus expanding and shrinking of the plastic
Do you have to buy certain paint for the covers since the engine gets them hot or is it cool to use regular spray paint ? Someone plz answer just only painting engine cover
Is this happening only to me or?? When i painted my engine cover i have some bubbles on it...but i sanded it like u said and followed exact proccess like you did...what i need to do to make them dissapear
I love that you helped your little brother out with this job, even if it is a simple one. I wish I had a brother for this reason
I like how you emphasize prepping. It is a major key in what you are trying to accomplish. Great vid .
It really makes every difference in the world..
painting is 90% prep
It's so true, painting it pretty hard to screw up if you prep properly
Major Key Alert!
@@milanmastracci do I need heat resistance paint?
You should use a plastic adhesion promoter underneath the primer. It will help the paint stick incredibly well.

That sure turned out perfect. Nice job.
Thanks for this example. I contacted a airbrush artist about a custom paint finish but now i know i want to do this myself.
The best way to spray a plastic engine cover 👌 Superb finish 👌 looks amazing 👏
Holy that looks so beautiful
That colour totally pops under the engine bay and contrasts beautifully with the V-dub and displacement badges. Good work!
What if I'm satisfied with the color of my engine color but I want a high gloss clear? What preparations do I need to make before spraying clear on it?
msclecarcrzy same as he did with wiping with a light alcohol mix
LOVE the color you chose!!

Dope I'm doing my jeep hemi in cosmic blue color shift and painting the raised letters in mayan gold metallic then sticker bombing the center piece with nasal stickers and clear coating the whole thing hope it comes out nice lol
You're using VHT paint, so why post a link in products used for rustoleum plastic paint?
Milan, does it matter what kind of plastic primer, paint, and clear coat we use? or will they all work just as well
If I didn’t sand mine but used THV primer and then THV red color will mine b ok ? Or should i remove paint , sand and redo ?
Hey quick question. How many coats of clear coat do we do and which paint brand do you recommend??
Wait would u need high temperature paint?
lol the last part whit you brother was the best
So do you need any special paint like heat resistant paint?
I put 3 coats of primer. How long after you put the primer n dry did you put the color paint?
Your videos are great, Keep them rolling!
Will do :)

Jonas Godwin LMAOOOOO
A headphone jack? That's crazy I can pick mine up by hand.
Awesome video maybe I will try it, but how do you take the engine cover out

+kevin ocampo Check for screws if it doesen't have any just pull on it

Hey can you provide what brand you are using?

Yes, that looks good. Nice job!
I am Looking to do this to my 5.7 covers. But I'm looking for a very bright red is there any suggestions and what paint and Brent to get perhaps even a part number or paint code
LT11988 A high heat paint, for example caliper paint, you will find it in just about any auto or paint store.
nice that youre using respirator for most of the time :D
Does this work with engine covers that are not plastic?
Thanks for explaining it, you did an awesome job!!
great video bro. 1question: was the primer you used plastic primer or high temp engine primer?
He did say that he used high temp paint and primer. He probably should have made that more clear.
Yes i've been waiting for this!

aye, milan what's a good place to get a decent racing metallic blue? I've seen some places that sell them but want the best one for my buck
i just want to paint my engine cover and fuse box cover my air filter cover the hose from the air filter to the throttle body a nice bright yellow color all those parts are hard plastic parts i'm tired of seeing them that black color i want to see the engine bay a bright yellow color can it be done and so i need a clear coat?
looks very nice , where did you buy the paint?
Dam man you made this shiz look easy!!! I’m gettin in this project next weekend for sure
Was that plastic primer or just standard? If it’s standard it will lift in Tim.🤔
I would also highly recommend you cover the entire thing with some kind of box to keep dust and crud in the air that will stick onto it while it dries in between coats. The finish in the end a bit more nice doesnt look too bad here as you are far away from treed and such that can get on.
Any problems with little bubbles from the paint not sticking?
How many Spray cans did you use?
you deserve a lot more views man
Not that I own a car or am old enough to own a car but would you recommend using plastic dip to go over the emblems. Great video you have earnt a new subscriber!

Where did you get the metallic paint from?
Wat grid sand paper did you use or was it like a brillo pad?
where did you by the the primer, paint, and clear from?
Paint your cover= 20+horse power
Putting another chopped sticker on will double that effect

I guarantee u Used Plastic Dip on your Wheels. You kids today are Hilarious!
@fortis619 modifying car is not always about horse power, you know? It is people like you that makes car community toxic.
What brand of paint should I use to paint my engine cover, I am not familiar the one describe in the link below... Should I use a high engine paint?
What brand of paint is best to use ?
Don't you have a problem with heat from the engine bay causing any blistering etc?
iVlog they used high temp paint
Does it have to be High temp spray ?
Great video Milan 👍👍
Thanks for the vid. I'll probably do mine a dark metallic blue
How would you do a Matte White for an engine cover. Same 3 Sprays and 15 minute wait?
Pretty much! If you have matte white paint, you'd use that. Otherwise, if you have regular white paint, you can follow it up with matte clear coat to get the colour and finish you're looking for
Hey I have a saggy headliner on my car that just happened over night. It's half of my golf that is saggy. How can I fix this?
how is it holding up, i know it's high temp paint but i still would assume the paint will crack with all the heating up and cooling down thus expanding and shrinking of the plastic
Guaranteed to crack. Done mine a year ago and lots of hair line fractures.
Paint is still well stuck though😁
Do you have to buy certain paint for the covers since the engine gets them hot or is it cool to use regular spray paint ? Someone plz answer just only painting engine cover
niggaaherbbb high temp paint as he said in the video
What if the engine cover was made of metal, would u still need to sand it down first?
Is this happening only to me or?? When i painted my engine cover i have some bubbles on it...but i sanded it like u said and followed exact proccess like you did...what i need to do to make them dissapear
how would I take paint off so i can do it like the video if I already painted it but it didn't come out as good as the one on the video?
hey buddy nice work, finally you have changed your back ground tune
would calliper paint be okay to use?
oh boy, is looks good!
