As stated before (painting engine cover)

Here is what a buddy from another forum I belong too with working with fiberglass and other materials stated.

"I would scuff it with a prep pad and sanding paste, give it a coat of adhesion promoter, a light coat of single stage primer of your choice, then the paint of your choice. (this is what I did when I painted the plastic trim on my car)"

You guys were worried about the paint sticking. I would think that the paint would stick if you scuff it up reallllll nice and with the plastic adhesion promoter should stick well, after that you can use high temp paint and clear. Don't forget to sand between coats and after clear and wax it up after to get it looking good, nice, and shiny!

umm you do know that you would have to use some high tempture paint right?

sorry I guess I wasn't good enough at explaining it, but I would think that would be blatently obvious! But yes use HIGH TEMP PAINT!!!

The problem with most high-temp paints is they are not flexible enough to be used on plastics; I learned this the hard way. Most high-temp paints contain ceramic, and dry to a rock-hard finish. Even those that do not use ceramic are still far too brittle. There are paints available for plastics, and chemically bond to most plastic matrials, and should not be affected by the engine heat as much as you would imagine. Keep in mind, the Versa's engine runs much cooler by design.
