Has Anyone painted their fuel rail covers?

If so, did you have to use special paint with a flex agent??

I don't see why you'd need a flex agent.

No, but you could use a plastic or vinyl paint like SEM or black bumper paint.

I degreased mine as much as possible, then put them in the dishwasher. I used regular spray paint. Been a couple of years now and they still look great. Click on '87 S4 below for a photo..

Thanks, That's what I wanted to know. I was concerned that since the covers are flexible that paint would eventually crack from vibration.
