Sorry to bring this from the dead but I have a question.
How do you remove the engine cover?
My car color is SGM same as above, should I paint the whole thing body color and leave the mesh part original?

^ you just gotta yank it out man
it's held by two clips I think, just pull it up
and as far as the color goes, you can paint SMG like JoeZ
but if I were you, I'll go with different color just to stand out

can anyone please tell me if i need to use high temperature paint for the engine cover? after a long few hours drive i am able to touch the surface of the engine cover so i'm assuming the normal paint thats on the bodywork with clear coat would work

^^^ That sounds like an interesting mod. Thanks for another idea Brian.
Basically, you'll need plastic primer and high temp paint.
Here's a DIY I found on the net:

If you want the gloss, perhaps clear coat it.
If anyone else has any better guides or instructions, please let me know.
