    the red is Dupli-color Car SUV and Truck paint and the color is Metallic Cherry Red, as for the SLP Box and the V6 and 3800 it is Also Dupli-Color Car, SUV, and Truck Paint and that is Metallic Gunmetal Grey. Got it at the local Advance Autoparts in the Clearance bin.

    Or you can just take acetone and wipe the red off the lettering.

    for the dogbones, do your red on the outside and gunmetal on the raised part in the middle, would look sharp

    I wanted to keep the texture so I actually didn't sand it, however for painting plastics like this its a good idead to wash the part in Bleach and water to make sure there's no grease or anything of the sort... and its regular var paint the cover doesn't get hot enough to damage that paint

    I did not realize that thanks for that tip. I actually tried to buy red paint to match the car but its a shade or two off, so i decided to go a different route and paint the cover black since my struts are back as well, and keep the letters silver and get a chrome CAI. thought it might look cool. And the one piece headlights, where did you get em and their angel eyes right? hows the night vision on those?
