I was wondering what the factory used to paint the air shroud on my 3.0 engine. It's red but has a lot of mars and scratches. It also has some of the bolt holes stripped out and one side is mashed from the ac bracket and underneath the bracket area it is fractured. I want to fix it up.

Question is- what kind of resin was the part made with (polyester or epoxy)?

What luck has anyone had in painting them? I'm leaning towards a 2 part epoxy paint. I'm impressed with the factory's paint in that it withstands carb cleaner and fuel.

Along with the rebuild, I'm detailing most everything while I wait for machine work.

Thanks for any help,
