If you use krylon fusion paint ($2.99-4.99) a can of oops($5-7 wally world) i think it cost that much or finger nail polish remover(be careful) give you one hella headache if you smell to long but both will get it right off

nope krylon fusion paint bonds to plastic on a molecular level so nothing else needed but the paint...

i saw that somebody did a dark blue on the textured side pannels on this board... they also did a coat of the mystic reflective paint. should i do that or what color would be best to start with? Im hella scared to do this seeing as how i just bought the car and i have never done any sort of mod to any car i have owned... honestly, what would look the BEST?

probably will be...it gets hot in the engine bay and the paint will peel and crack but I don't with the krylon because it fuses with the plastic...check the can

Oh god....
eh, now that i think about it... if its a plastic engine cover its not getting hot enought to melt the plastic so the paint should be fine for a while..
