Default engine dress up

Hey guys,
I been lookin to dress up the engine for Vettes on the Rockies July 31 in Breckenridge co.
The cost is horrorific. Instead of buying cover ups either stainless or painted. Can't I paint what I have? fuel rails, coolant tank and windshield tank? If so what kind of paint would I need.
Any info would be appreciated

Default Engine Dress Up

You can paint much of what you have but to do it right you may spend as much as you would to buy stainless covers and painted parts. Adding some bling under the hood does not have to be painfully expensive. I have bought parts on ebay that are absolutely beautiful. I have also bought similar parts out of the catalogs and paid a lot more. Check out this ebay store. http://stores.ebay.com/Corvette-Chrome

Good luck with whatever you decide.
