Plasti Dip + Engine Treatment UPDATE w/PICS

[VTAudiA4]

I knew this would happen sooner or later. At first I was in denial because I could not believe it to be true. I kept on saying to myself it must be the lighting or just some pollen but I knew that was not true. So, here I am accepting that my carbonio intake cover has started to turn barf yellow.

What are my options? I bought this cover from a member on here so I cannot get a new one from Carbonio.

Do you think I can use plasti dip and paint it flat black to match the rest of the engine bay?

Should I paint it at all?
or
Should I do something completly different? (input goes here_________________)

[GraysonF]

just paint it. paint it to match the rest of the engine bay, or just body match the entire engine bay and intake cover

Where can I find some? I dont want to buy it online but rather just go to a store and pick it up. I looked at Ace Hardware, Advanced Auto Parts, Lowe's, etc.. and no luck.

Home Depot should have it. Atleast thats where I buy it from.

[NyteEscape]

as well as lowe's. i got mine from there...

[VTAudiA4]

Yeah I am at work til 4 so I need to check the stores once I get out. Online they didn't have it. So should I do it?

[t1demont1]

check lowes or home depot in the pain section, they always have it, except for one time when i looked and neither had it, was a depressing ay.

I would try this

might keep it looking like carbon fiber and its good to 500F

Plasti dipping in process. I also a doing another small paint job on the inside. Pics will be posted......Later

[VTAudiA4]

The badges are not glued on yet. I might glue them on depending on what people think. Input is appreciate. I wish I could get the driver side cover they have in europe.

Move the 1.8T emblem left to center it, otherwise, it looks good.

[NyteEscape]

That is exactly it. I would keep it plastic not carbon, that way it would match the rest.



Thanks for all the positive comments and I will leave it blank.
