Default Painted my windshield fluid bottle neck.

I recently painted my coolant overflow. Just got around to painting this as well.

sorry I think it looks cheap and if its not plastic spray paint it will crack with heat down the road sorry, but if you like it cool.

Thanks for the tip, Hopefully it wont. Not sure how it would look cheap compared to what it was? Its just a different color.

yea it will crack in a few weeks and look like complete shit, and then you will need to buy a new one, or leave it looking ghetto.

lesson learned? stop painting stuff, and pick up a wrench

It's his car, he can paint whatever he would like to. I think it looks better than it did. You can always...you know...repaint it???

It looks 100x better than it did man. I'm willing to bet it will NOT crack since it isn't exposed to too much heat, and it is bolted in and never moves or anything. Just goes to show you people don't know what they are talking about. A while back I rattle canned (yes, with normal spray paint) my valve cover, and it lasted for like 6 months, and finally started chipping on the side right abover the header due to heat.

So yeah good job man, simple and effective.
