    I think most people just spray paint them. If you do a search you will see a variety of colours. They also spray the dash, to colour code as well.

    You will have to use a the right paint and maybe even primer.

    Vinyl or plastic specific paint is the best for the application. The cover doesn't get hot enough to warrant a high temp paint. Using a vinyl/plastic paint will help prevent peeling. Supercheap have heaps of colours in that range.

    I think an unpainted engine cover is a tragedy. It's one of the simplest modifications anyone can do to their engine bay to snazz it up a little. It also makes it look new again. :D
