I didn't notice this before but when I was replacing the cam emblems, I saw that the air filter cover was spotted like the surface was kinda rusting. I took a picture of it and I am posting it here. Any way to fix this?

At the risk of sounding like a nut who recommends the same fix for every problem, if it?s plastic this may be another job for a heat gun.
Use it with care until you get a feel for how the surface reacts and how far to hold the gun off the surface. I used a heat gun to rejuvenate the body side molding and bumper rub strips on a Saab wagon we used to have. Made it look like new and didn?t hurt the adjacent paint. It can be used on many plastic surfaces that have faded or oxidized, to a point. Another option is to paint the piece with a paint meant for plastic trim. If this is for your all-original barn rescue car you may not want to paint it. If the cover is metal, it could also be painted, with the same reservation about originality.

The OEM air cleaner cover from my 94 ZR-1 is made out of aluminum.
