Re: Engine covers 5.3
For you guys who are smoothing and painting stock covers.. Do you just paint it with the same paint you painted your trucks with or did you have to mix in some kind of flex additive like newer cars use on plastic bumpers? I would hate to do all the work and then have the paint crack on me.

Re: Engine covers 5.3
I just used regular primer and paint. The factory covers are pretty thick and don't seem as flexible as the urethane bumpers where you need the additive.

Re: Engine covers 5.3
I couldn't find a cover I liked at all. I smoothed my intake and had it dipped. Turned out pretty well IMO.
