As far as I know you can paint/wrap anything thats plastic/metal. You CAI cover, tube, fuse box cover, all the fluids caps..etc. I dipped my engine cover in my Charger black and red. But I always forgot to clean it lol

Billet tech "Under Hood Dress Up Kit" and paint fuse box top to match your engine cover. Cover looks good!!!!!

No worries...I fixed it. :D

Cover looks good. Have you considered painting fuse box covers red? Maybe sleeve the A/C & coolant hoses?

Want to do mine too-do I just remove cover,clean with alcohol and can I just use exterior enamel spray paint or do I need special high-heat paint. Don't want to start until I get a your guys advice--don't want to end up with a big mess-or much worse a fire under the hood!!!

Notice on 2nd pic engine cover not on? Wonder why? 2 tone painting is time consuming and taping is sooo important,(note the ram's nose)!
Prep is EVERYTHING in painting, clean the hell out of it. I learned the hard way by cleaning, alcohol wiping, spraying and got fisheyes in the coats so wet sanded down to remove whatever was there and whala
