As indicated....made of plastic. I used factory matched Basalt Metallic Black and Clear coat automotive paint and painted to match the exterior. The auto paint has held up well to the heat etc. in the engine compartment. You can obviously paint any other color to match your taste...I was just wanting tomatch the exterior body color.

Attached a photo of mine for reference. Have had this painted for almost 2 years now I think and no issues to date.

Good luck.

Thanks for all your replies so far.

So to have it painted, should I have a body shop prep and paint it?

Yes...Easy to remove...or have them do it. I did mine myself.....But up to you. Piece of cake for a body-shop....Sand, plastic adhesion promoter, prime, sand again, base coat, clear coat....polish...Done!
