    everything that is plastic can be plastic/vinyl died because it's a high-heat plastic and typically won't get damaged by paint. If it's a V6 even the plastic valve covers can be painted. You'd need to get a set of valve cover gaskets in case one brakes when you remove them to paint

    If it's a v8 then you'd want a high heat enamel base paint, gets hot under there
    I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere
