Painting engine cover

Hey guys I was just wondering what you guys did to paint your engine cover ?(if you did it yourself) Spraypaint ?

I was thinking about doing this but another thing that has me hesitating is that my car is leased, would this affect my lease ?

Thanks guys- kev

had my bodyshop do it. Typical paint job, sand, prime, paint, clear. Worse case you can always repaint back to stock colors. I highly doubt dealership will notice, but that's up to you to decide.

looking back at pics, i think i might leave it because the reason i liked yours, when you open your hood it matches the car, i have a black car so when the hood is open it matches, the gray and the black so yeah. Thanks mike

All depending how many MOD's you have done to your car at the end of your lease you can sell it.

This is one Mod I really want to do. Just no time to do it. Black and Red would be my choice.
