Default Custom painted engine covers?

Hey guys. I have a friend with a ‘13 ZL1 Camaro looking to get custom painted engine covers and the strut tower brace. He’s fairly wealthy and tracked down this exact car that he previously owned about 10 years ago prior to becoming wealthy. Anyways, he’s trying to restore it to how he had the car back at that time and these parts were paint matched white just like the exterior color. Know of any sponsors who do this type of work?

Are you referring to fuel rail covers (not sure what a hood cover would be)? There was a company a long time back (After Thoughts Auto) that did this and they never responded back to me when I emailed them before the pandemic. I ended up just getting used covers on eBay and after I get my car back on the road will take up working on these. Granted this is for 2002 and not a 2013 as they use different fuel rail covers. The ones I got have Corvette embossed in them and will need to be filled, painted, and then apply stickers over the paint. I haven't seen any of the companies that used to do this still active and most don't have websites anymore, as I have covers I haven't even looked to be honest. Maybe someone is still doing it?

Sorry I wrote hood but I meant the engine cover. I found a place that paints these but they said they’ll only paint new and not used parts. The problem is I can’t find any new LSA engine covers.
