Elise Engine Cover Paint

[frank7]

The Lotus name and detailing on my engine cover is in need of some new silver paint. The cover is plastic and gets hot, so what paint is suitable for this part?

 

Thanks for any advice.

I used nail varnish ! But realised it was a bad move as it faded 

I purchased some high heat black paint but used it on the metal grill parts 

I wanted a luminous type of paint for my Evora engine cover but have not found a product as yet ?

Thanks for the reply. That’s not a bad idea! I’ll have a look at the local cosmetic counter tomorrow!

I think I’d use brush-on caliper paint if I had that issue.   Loads on eBay, cheap as chips.

Another good idea! Really helpful. 👍

Thanks for all your suggestions. Finally I found this paint on Amazon. So far so good. Easy enough to apply by hand with small brush and near perfect result. Not quite as good as the original but pretty close and a great deal cheaper than a new cover!
