Painting the radiator support cover I'm going in to get some bodywork done, and I was thinking that while they had my car, I would get the radiator support cover (under the lid) painted navy blue metallic to match the rest of my car. Prepped, painted and cleared with the same external paint. What are your opinions on this, and does anyone have it done?

You could always throw a blanket over it after the lid is off. I think it would look great, and I would definitely clear-coat it, so that should limit a lot of the scratching.

I have others just not on the computer I'm at now. It is clearcoated, and it doesn't blemish or scratch very easy. I keep the pieces pretty clean.

Lol. Its an old pic. I've since removed the 350 and replaced it with a GM Performance division emblem. I've also added some Specialized Stainless covers. I also ditched that trashy looking stainless braided sleeve that is on the rad hose.
