Thoughts on painting Procharger core support cover over the radiator?
I want to add some more color to the engine bay and paint the core support cover over the radiator red. As close to the KATECH and coil color as possible. Has anyone done this? Not sure how hard it would be to take it off my self and paint it.
The only other changes I plan on doing in the engine bay is to remove the current black brake fluid reservoir cover and swap it out with a chrome cover and swap those chrome engine caps out with another set that has the engravings in red. I don't want to have too much chrome. Hence, leaving some pieces in select locations black,
Any other positive recommendations are welcome.

Your engine compartment looks really good, the cover shouldn't be that hard to get out 6 or 7 bolts I think and you will have to remove the air intake pipe from the inter cooler, I had way to much yellow under my hood so I made a few changes I have black etched caps on order then I will be done in that area.

Love the Katech covers! Mine were a bit of work to get in but well worth it.
I think a chrome power steering reservoir cover would look good in your setup. It would help the chrome flow across well.
I may paint a card board piece red and lay it over the radiator support cover to get a feel for the look with red. I'll post that up this week.
