    Sealing engine covers

    My new Plenum and fuel covers are all just gloss urethane car paint - no special trick here - what`s the best way to seal them - I`m thinking Tropical Red Mist Dodo juice - any other suggestions?

    Re: Sealing engine covers

    While being very easy to use, I am not sure how long will a sealant last on the engine cover.
    Since this is a new car, why not strip and apply some Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Surface Coating for a long lasting protection against the heat from your engine.

    Re: Sealing engine covers

    Any coating you have exo, opticoat , finest, c quartz or Dp or pinnacle

    While its new coat it for a lifetime of easier maintenance. Just polish and reapply before it totally craps out. I would opticoat it if you have some.
