    I don’t see a reason why you couldn’t.

    I also don’t know why you would want to.

    Pretty much well said above. No reason why you can't if you want to, but don't know that there is really any long term benefit to it. I personally wouldn't waste a lot of time or expensive paint on the inside of the cover. Some rattle can black or similar color to the exterior and call it good if it makes you feel better. Good Luck!

    I guess if you are changing the color of the exterior of the car and there is overspray of the previous color on the inside of the cover in places it may be noticeable if you're under the car or really looking for it.

    If your header panel is out you could paint the inside of the grill part of the cover black. I masked it and gave it a quick shot of SEM trim black when I removed and repainted my header black. The factory black paint didn't do the best at getting all of the insides of the egg crate grill either.

    It's a replacement for the original 78 spooky cover that deforms in the rain.
    It needs some small repair and sanding because its blue metallic now.
    I asked because it might help to reduce detoration if covered by paint. But if that is not an issue I will only repaint the openings that are noticable from the outside.
    Thanks for your input.
    Back to the barn with 2 electric heaters, It's freezing here. Bye.
