Painting intercooler cover

I have red plastidip, but I was thinking I would need some type of special heat resistant paint. If anyone has done theirs, would you recommend a heat resistant spray paint for plastic surfaces for me? Thanks!

Check Krylon or Wurth.

i dont think heat will be too big of an issue, with the diverter being on top... ive seen lots of photos with crazy designs that there was no way those people used heat resistant paint.

i think your biggest culprit will be Rain, since the diverter will be taking that full force when you drive!

Yeah, that's weird, they just kind of disappeared. Here's a picture of them at stock height, my FK silver lines are on backorder -_-









EDIT: Fixed the pic, thanks!
