Default vinyl Wrap on engine Bay

Has anyone wraped their engine cover? was thinking of some 4d carbon vinyl from ebay. I have seen on the internet that people have done it, but would the vinyl be resistant to all that heat?

I was thinking same before I painted my engine cover. engine covers get hot vinyl wrap won't hold to long. it may shrink from excess heat and it will not be easy either to put it on the cover. Other areas except the engine covers it will work without problem I think.
