Fuel rail covers?
Mine were peeling so bad when I got the car they looked like ****. So I sanded all the criss cross pattern off and painted but I am not happy with how they turned out. Specifically, the paint sucks - I used duplicolor, adhesion promoter and the whole 9 but they have bubbled badly in a few short months...
I want to get them redone but I wouldn’t think you could powder coat plastic so what are my options?
Hoping I can just take somewhere local and have them do the covers and plenum on the cheap.

These guys get it done faster than RPI. But delivery time is still inconsistent. I would call first. Their hydrograhics is pretty cool and it looks just like real carbon fiber

Same here...
Sorry picture is of them drying in my garage on my boat and not on the car They aren't perfect but it was kind of fun DIY project that didn't cost much... other then dash plaques. I grabbed those on sale when a vendor was running a special deal. There are a few YouTube videos of how to paint plastic parts, watch them for some tips.

I painted my plenum myself and satisfied with the outcome. I ordered my fuel rail covers and fuse box cover from RPI and I well pleased with the results. Yes it did take 8 weeks to get them, but I am sure that was part due to the covid.

I had mine Hydrodipped. They were done at Mild2Wild Hydrographics in Converse, Texas. Watch YouTube-- CorvetteHop. He has a video.
He
re's mine. The cost to do the 5 parts was 600.00. I also had the radiator vent part on the hood done for an additional 90.00.

I primed and painted mine body color and added carbon flash lettering.
Vertini wheels compliment the side skirts.
