Any suggestions how to paint engine covers for my 212X, high output letters are almost gone

hello there,
Any recommendations on how and what kind of pain to use to paint engine plastic covers for my 212X?
I know this isn't what you're asking for but thought I would throw it in the mix anyway.
 
Any quality spray paint should work, just clean them REALLY well first. The can will say if you can use it on plastic, you could also do a high temp paint since it does get warm in the engine compartment... I'd also consider taking them to a local place that does hydro dipping of you want a really cool/custom look. Its pretty cheap to have done.
 
It will be faster and more high output without the letters.
 
Have them hydro dipped. That will work best I believe. Someone made a post in one of the FB groups. Looks great.
***Here's a pic. Not mine, but I will do something similar soon, as mine are cracked and need replacement. Should be $30 or $40 each.
