Don't really want to paint it but I think some color would be nice... is this plastidip stuff ok for the plastic engine cover or and I going to catch it on fire lol?

Check out Ryanbabz71's Camaro link, he had the cover hydro dipped and it looks sweet.

Hydro dipping is not the same as spray on plasti dip

No, not even close to the same. More expensive but a nice option that looks good. Difficult to do on your own, the pros make it look great.

Yea a can of plasti dip is like $5 my hydro dipped engine cover was close to $300 mainly becAuse of the multiple patterns (masking involved)

 

 

I wouldn't paint my engine cover with plasti dip there are better product that will hold up to the heat. Not to say it can't be done. It held up well on my rims

Agree hydro dipping looks great and gives me good ideas for my truck. One of my next projects
