Plastic Engine Cover Colors

Post by isvoboda »

Does anyone know where you can buy various 2007 Vibe engine covers in colors like blue, red, or anything different. I've searched but came up empty. Thanks..

Not sure this is something you can purchase, but people have painted them with rattle cans (high heat paint?) or used vinyl overlays on the letters.

After painting, Grafxwerks makes vinyl overlay for the raised lettering, saves a lot of time and sticks really well. I applied mine about one day after painting to help the overlay bond to the fresh paint.

I agree that painting and / or overlays from Grafx Werks are your best bet.
